Uzbekistan vs Colombia Preview and Team News

Uzbekistan Team News

Uzbekistan were beaten 1-2 by the Netherlands in their last friendly before the FIFA World Cup. That result means the White Wolves have now lost two of their last five matches, with two draws and one win.

Against the Dutch, Uzbekistan’s 3-4-2-1 formation did not work well, often allowing their opponents to exploit space in midfield. Still, defensive midfielder Otabek Shukurov stood out by winning 100% of his aerial duels.

Central defender Abdukodir Khusanov, who plays for Manchester City, was responsible for conceding a penalty yet still posted an impressive 90% passing accuracy.

Jaloliddin Masharipov is not available for the Uzbeks due to a hernia.

Uzbekistan predicted lineup vs Colombia (3-4-2-1): Yusupov; Ashurmatov, Urozov, Khusanov; Nasrulloev, Mozgovoy, Shukurov, Sayfiev; Urunov, Fayzullayev; Shomurodov.

Colombia Team News

There are few concerns regarding Colombia’s form. They’ve secured three victories in their last five matches and kept two clean sheets during that span. They also won their previous game, a friendly against Jordan, 2-0.

In that encounter, Los Cafeteros dominated proceedings right from the beginning, holding 64% possession. That dominance translated into attacking opportunities. They recorded 14 shots, including five on target, and 24 touches in the opposition box. Jhon Arias starred with a brace and registered the most shots (three).

Colombia have no injury concerns ahead of this match.

Colombia predicted lineup vs Uzbekistan (4-2-3-1): Vargas; Mojica, Lucumi, Sanchez, Munoz; Lerma, Puerta; Diaz, Arias, Rodriguez; Suarez.

Uzbekistan vs Colombia Prediction

  • Pick: Colombia to win
  • Odds: -271 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Uzbekistan 0-3 Colombia

Colombia enter this fixture in significantly better form than their opponents and should have enough quality to win. They also hold a clear advantage in the FIFA rankings. While Los Cafeteros are ranked 13th, Uzbekistan sit 50th.

Colombia have scored 10 goals in their last five matches, while the White Wolves have found the back of the net just twice during the same stretch. Los Cafeteros‘ attacking depth and overall quality should prove too much for Uzbekistan to handle.

Uzbekistan vs Colombia Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Colombia total – over 1.5 goals
  • Odds: -172 (20Bet)

Colombia are well-positioned to score at least two goals against Uzbekistan. They have netted 10 goals across their previous five outings, averaging two per game, and their attack is packed with quality.

James Rodriguez and Luis Diaz are both extremely experienced players (over 50 goal involvements for their respective clubs last season). Striker Luis Suarez, too, is in the form of his life, having produced 46 goal contributions for Sporting CP in 2025-26.
