Colombia Women vs Korea Republic Women Prediction and Betting Tips | July 25th 2023
Colombia Women and Korea Republic Women will kickstart their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup campaign when they square off at the Sydney Football Stadium on Tuesday.
The Colombians are coming into the tournament on the back of a 2-2 draw in a friendly against China last week.
Korea Republic, meanwhile, saw off Haiti with a 2-1 comeback victory in a friendly a fortnight ago. Nerilia Mondesir put the Haitians ahead in the first half but second-half goals from Ji So-Yun and Jang Sei-Gi helped Korea Republic to complete the turnaround.
The Tigers of Asia booked their spot in the World Cup courtesy of their runners-up finish at the 2022 Women's Asian Cup. They fell to a 3-2 defeat against China in the final, having had a two-goal lead with 22 minutes to go.
Colombia secured their spot on the plane to Australia/New Zealand as runners-up in the 2022 Copa America Femenina. Las Cafeteras lost 1-0 to Brazil in the final.
Germany and Morocco complete the quartet of teams in Group H of the World Cup.
