Corner-stats.com team offers to draw your attention to the match of group H in which one of favorites - Columbia is one step away from leaving World Cup. Of course in case of Columbia’s winning, the team definitely goes to play-off but Senegal also counts on play-off and needs at least draw at this match. It should be pointed out that many favorites go to play-off with difficulties and matches of Brazil and Argentina are very illustrative here.

Pay your attention to that fact that because of including the system of video replays VAR (video assistant referee), matches are getting more difficult to be prognosed because penalty is present at almost every match of World Cup.

The psychological pressure on Columbia’s players is enormous, because the group H was rated as a weak one, and Columbia was an obvious favorite.

Concerning the cards, Messi’s yellow card for the time delay at the match between Argentina-Nigeria once again confirms that the favorite with a huge value of victory at the match will act with any possible methods to achieve the result. Therefore, one non-playing card for time delay is most likely to appear at this match (either Senegal or Argentina).
