Betting on Colombia (-330 at Codere)
The Néstor Lorenzo era in Colombia has begun, and his team remains undefeated under his lead. In March, the team defeated Japan 2-1, with goals from Jhon Durán and Rafael Santos Borré, marking its fourth victory in its last six matches. That was also the fifth time in the past six matches that Colombia scored at least two goals.
Additionally, its opponent has recently suffered two goals against from Russia and Oman, teams of much lower caliber. If you think the Colombia team will continue with its scoring streak in this Colombia vs Iraq match, the Over 2.5 goals scored by Colombia has a (+150) odds at Codere, which could win you 150.174 COP for every 100,000 COP you bet.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Camilo Vargas; Daniel Muñoz, Davinson Sánchez, Jhon Lucumí, Deiver Machado; Kevin Castaño, Mateus Uribe; Diego Valoyes, James Rodríguez, Jorge Carrascal; Rafael Santos Borré.

Betting on Iraq (+900 at Codere)
Iraq has just been crowned champion of the Gulf Cup of Nations after a well-deserved 3-2 win over Oman in the tournament’s final. This title, obtained in January after several years, has given the crowd hope ahead of the upcoming World Cup, which Iraq has not been a part of since 1986.
Although the Asian team played three matches in the first half of January without conceding a single goal, it has received five goals against in its three most recent matches. Nevertheless, Iraq scored five goals, and in two of its last three games, both teams scored. While the team seems to have lost its way in the defensive performance, the offensive performance remains intact.
Could Iraq’s forwards wreck havock against Colombia? If the Both Teams to Score is fulfilled with an odd of (+105) at Codere, you could earn 105,122 COP for every 100,000 COP bet.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Jalal Hassan; Alai Ghasem, Mustafa Nadhim, Ali Faez, Merchas Doski; Amir Al-Ammari, Ibrahim Bayesh; Hussein Ali, Amjad Atwan, Bashar Resan; Aymen Hussain.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Colombia vs Iraq
Colombia is undoubtedly the top favorite to take home the win. However, its opponent will not make it easy for the team to do so, despite what the predictions say. At JefeBet, we believe that Santos Borré and his team will celebrate a win in Valencia in a tight but thrilling match.
