How to watch Switzerland vs Colombia
Switzerland vs Colombia Preview
Johan Manzambi finds space between the Colombian midfield and backline.
For Switzerland, the game continues to remind us of this new offensive spark. In addition to his 3 goals, Manzambi has 2 assists in 4 matches. It does this without needing a huge volume of feeds. This counts against a Colombian team that likes to control the ball as Switzerland can stay compact and then look for a neat connection with him around Breel Embolo.
On the other hand, Colombia makes this pocket difficult to live in. They have only allowed 1 goal in the tournament and come in with 3 straight clean sheets, so Manzambi’s desired space is usually crowded quickly and closed down even quicker. If Colombia keeps Switzerland in a wide position and away from central combinations, the Swiss attack may lose its clearest advantage.
Look at the first Swiss entries in the final third. If Manzambi receives on the turn, this match opens.
Player to watch
The Swiss captain is essential to his team’s chances of playing the way they want. Switzerland cannot afford to chase the game for too long, and Xhaka, at his best, can win possession and set up his teammates in the attacking third while defending well. Switzerland needs him to be at his best, like against Ghana.
