Colombia vs Switzerland Round 16, Date, Time, TV, Live stream, Venue, Team News, Predicted Lineups, Predictions.

Switzerland and Colombia meet in the Round of 16 with a quarter-final place on the line — a clash of two sides who advanced from the Round of 32 without conceding a goal.

Switzerland have been the sort of team no one enjoys playing. They came through their group without defeat and saw off Algeria 2-0 in the last 32 at this same Vancouver ground, Breel Embolo striking early and Dan Ndoye adding a second right after the break.

Colombia have the more eye-catching football but had to grind for their place in the last 16, edging Ghana 1-0 thanks to a Jhon Arias strike inside the opening quarter of an hour. They too finished top of their group unbeaten.
