How to watch Switzerland vs. Colombia
Preview of Switzerland vs. Colombia
Johan Manzambi finding space between Colombia’s midfield and back line is the most important thing to watch.
For Switzerland, the game keeps pointing back to the new attacking spark. In addition to his 3 goals, Manzambi has 2 assists in 4 games. He does it without needing a huge amount of starter. That matters against a Colombian team that likes to control the ball because Switzerland can stay compact and then look for one clean connection to him around Breel Embolo.
On the other hand, Colombia make that pocket difficult to live in. They have only allowed 1 goal in the tournament and come in with 3 straight clean sheets, so the space Manzambi wants is usually crowded quickly and closed even faster. If Colombia keep Switzerland playing wide and away from central combinations, the Swiss attack may lose its sharpest edge.

Player to watch
The Swiss captain is crucial to his team’s chances of playing the way it wants to play. Switzerland cannot afford to chase the game for too long and Xhaka, at his best, can win possession and set up his teammates in the attacking third, while also defending well. Switzerland need him to be in top form as he was against Ghana.
