TotoSchillaci Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th I've taken Colombia fairly large on the +0 AH @ 1.59 yesterday. This is because I expect price to plunge if Suarez is banned and I expect it is highly likely he will be. The majority of books now have 1.50 best price while only Interwetten have 1.55 (highest I can see). Colombia are electric and riding a wave of momentum. Everything is going right for this team at the moment. Without Suarez, Uruguay's threat is severely diminished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho_CFC Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th I got Colombia at 13/10 but I still think they seem to be value at evens. One of the best looking teams in the group stages against one that has looked fairly poor except for Luis suarez doing his thing vs England. He will be out obviously and Colombia should be able to boss the game from the start. I also expect them to start very fast so 11/5 HT/FT ladbrokes seems like a decent shout.

Indred_Cold Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th Hi guys, my first post here. I'm a huge believer in following the trend. The columbians are riding the crest of the wave at the moment, while the uruguayans are now ingulfed in the turmoil of the Suarez bite. We saw how clueless they looked against Costa Rica without him and how completely transformed they were against England when he did play. It's not just the goal threat he poses, but he genuinely lifts them up in a way that I don't see any other player do for his country. We are now in the knock out stages and even though this has been a record breaking tournament when it comes to the number of goals scored, teams tend to tighten up come the business end of the world cup which is why I think we won't see many goal fests from here on out. As far as this game, and with odds on Colombia still going down I like the looks of these two bets: Colombia to keep a clean sheet @ 2.37, 5pts and Colombia and under 2.5 goals @ 4.0 2pts with bet365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebe Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th Up until now, Colombia and Uruguay played 38 matches and the results were relatively similar:11 wins for Colombia, 18 for Uruguay, and 9 draws.

You could be right actually and to be fair Uruguay can defened well when they did in, but for me I think I will take the risk on Columbia being able to score a goal.

Columbia now and Columbia 38 games ago are two completely different teams. Likewise with Uruguay. I am not saying your prediction will not come out, but the basis on which you have made it, is grossly flawed. Not least because Uruguay's main man, main attacking threat and overall link up player will be banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HastGill1 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th Think you only had to watch the first two games to see the difference it makes to Uruguay having Suarez there or not. Forlan isn't the player he was in 2010 - to be honest I think Uruguay are quite a bit weaker than they were in that tournament. In the first game where Suarez didn't play all they were doing a lot of the time was lumping long balls into Cavani who had no-one playing off him. It is quite well known that Uruguay are quite European in style compared to other South American countries, they also don't really have a playmaker in the team so there is often little support for the strikers - think we have seen that so far as well. You would be hard pushed to make much of an argument for Uruguay as an attacking force, the obvious danger is that these two obviously know each other very well and Uruguay can set up fairly defensively and look to hit on the counter or from a set-piece, Colombia are a far better attacking side certainly. I would agree with those going on Colombia DNB, the odds aren't that brilliant now but I had a small play yesterday.

Fedar Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th I think we all agree that Colombia is a better team atm, especially when Uruguay are missing Suarez. However, I am trying to ask myself whether there is value on them at this odds. Uruguay, even without Suarez, are a very experienced side with solid defense. I don't see them beating a better Colombian team in regular time, but they are totally capable of holding them to a draw. Probably I would have priced Colombia around 2.0 - exactly the bookies have done, so probably it is very close to their real price. I have absolutely no doubt about Uruguay's approach, especially without Suarez. For 270 minutes in the group stage, they had just several good scoring occasions (including the goals) - and they were all either set-pieces, or Suarez' creations. Uruguay don't have good offensive midfielders to provide balls to Cavani, and he doesn't have the exquisite footwork of Suarez to create space and chances for himself - Edinson is just a good finisher, nothing more. However, Uruguay have very good defense, defensive midfielders and an excellent Muslera on goal. Their defending people are probably a bit old and slow, but normally this doesn't matter when they stay compact and leave little space - in such cases, their excellent positioning and physical advantage is what matters the most. That's why I am confident Tabarez (who has reputation for being a very negative coach) will play very defensive and will try to rely on set-pieces, or probably extra-time and penalties.

jackierubberleg Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th Colombia -1 @11/4 Paddy Power. I would have taken Colombia to win this game even if Luis Saurez was still in town. To think that Uruguay will not miss him would be foolish. Any country would miss a player of world class ability and Uruguay will be at a severe loss without him I believe that Colombia are more than capable of taking on any country left in the competition. Three victories in the group, finishing with a thumping of Japan will certainly have bhoyed their confidence. Just 2 goals conceded to nine scored so far is reputable stuff to drive forward with and with James Rodriguez and Jackson Martinez firing on all cylinders, they have to be feared. Uruguay have certainly rode their luck in the competition, but I believe their luck has now expired. Had the referee applied the law in their games against England and Italy, they may all have accompanied Saurez on the plane back to Montevideo. To me they are one of the weaker South American teams in Brasil. I believe the well organised Colombians will put them to the sword and may win by two or more if the Uruguayans are left chasing the game.

MPLouis Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th I wonder whether people are under-estimating Uruguay, even without you-know-who. Their side is packed with top-class players, probably with more experience than Colombia, and have a much better recent head to head record. Colombia have delivered more impressive performances so far - but take into account they were against Greece, Ivory Coast and Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacchan14 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th Some contrarian view here. Colombia did well against Greece, Ivory Coast and Japan on the back of a large presence of Colombian supporters in all of the games. They were virtually playing at home. Against Uruguay, however, this will change. Let's expect the stadium to be half yellow and half blue. Without a full house of Colombian support, Colombia must be considered to be playing at a neutral ground, as it should be. Both Colombia and Uruguay are more or less equal in terms of competence. On this basis, Uruguay +0.5 @1.90 at bet365 appears to be a good bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefox11 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Re: Last 16 - Colombia v Uruguay > Saturday June 28th Time for a first post, been lurking here since start of the world cup. First I just want to say thanks to regular posters for sharing your views! Quote from > match preview (http://www.spam.com/features/spam-preview-colombia-vs-uruguay) Key battle: Rodriguez vs Lodeiro/Arevalo Rios The creative motor behind Colombia's tournament so far, the Monaco midfielder has scored in every game, assisted twice and dominated the key stats on shots, passes and ball recovery. His 3 goals and 2 assists mean he's already been involved in more goals than any other Colombian in World Cup history. Rodriguez has scored in each of his last 5 games for Colombia and his influence on the left of midfield or in the hole behind a striker in a 4-2-3-1 will need to be nullified by whoever can get close enough to kick him. Rodriguez to score is available to around 3.4. Feels like a good pick considering his recent form. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
