Summary
Switzerland are tipped to upset Colombia in Tuesday's World Cup clash in Vancouver, with analysts backing the Swiss moneyline at +270 despite Colombia being slight favorites.
Nine Swiss goals in four matches underpin that call, with Murat Yakin's side seen as carrying more attacking punch even after conceding in all three group-stage games.
Over 2.5 goals at +146 is the preferred totals play, reflecting expectations that Colombia can score but may again struggle to convert pressure into enough goals to win.
Breel Embolo at +220 is the featured scorer pick after netting twice in the tournament, aided by Johan Manzambi's creative role behind him.
Colombia enter 3-1 at the World Cup, but their only meeting with top-level opposition ended without a win, while Switzerland have beaten Bosnia, Canada and Algeria.
