Live descriptive stats

Analysis
How it plays out
Colombia's pragmatic setup will need to hold shape against DR Congo's direct transition game. The risk for Colombia: getting caught between attacking and defending. Colombia will expect to hold 53% possession. DR Congo need their shape to stay compact without the ball and be clinical when they win it back.
What decides it
DR Congo will concede possession willingly and attack in transition. Their defensive block needs to hold without fouling in dangerous areas. Colombia adjust shape to the opponent. That flexibility is an asset, but it takes longer to settle into a game. The scoring threat is evenly split: Yoane Wissa (7.9%) and James Rodríguez (8.5%).
Off the pitch
DR Congo travel 13,818km, 4x Colombia's journey. Second-half fatigue is a real factor at that differential.
The angle
The model gives DR Congo just 11.6% to win. Every World Cup produces group-stage upsets; the question is whether this fixture is one of them.
