2018 Russia World Cup in numbers

Colombia are likely to have star man James Rodriguez back from injury as they look to quickly make up for their 2-1 defeat against Japan. Carlos Sanchez received an early red card for handball which led to Shinji Kagawa’s early goal from the spot. Colombia clawed the game back but ultimately lacked the creativity and composure that Rodriguez offers them in the final third.

Centre-back Kamil Glik has returned to full training can could start for Poland after they failed to put on a good display against Senegal in their 2-1 defeat.

This will be the first ever competitive match between the two sides and a win for either team will leave their opponents scrambling on zero points. Defeat for both teams is not an option. Whatever the result, it will be a fascinating and open game.

What time is it?

Poland vs Colombia kicks off at 19:00 at the Kazan Arena

Where can I watch it?

ITV will be showing live coverage on ITV 1 and online on the ITV Hub

Odds

  • Poland: 5/2
  • Colombia: 5/4
  • Draw: 12/5

Prediction

2-2. Colombia only know one way to play, and with Rodriguez back in the side they should be able to break through Poland’s defence. That said, Colombia will be exposed at the back and Robert Lewandowski will be itching to open his World Cup account.

85 mins: Colombia almost have four but have an effort cleared off the line, before one of the most bizarre efforts from a free kick that you will see this World Cup from James Rodriguez

89 mins: Lewandowski hits an effort from range, which Ospina saves, despite limping heavily.

90 mins: Five minutes of added time, but in truth Poland could be here until tomorrow and still fail to score

FULL TIME: Poland 0-3 Colombia 

Yerry Mina, Radamel Falcao and Juan Cuadrado all on target as a lacklustre Poland are OUT of the World Cup. Colombia look a serious force to be reckoned with, and assuming they qualify, one England will want to avoid at all costs

Thanks for staying with us today, for one of the most exciting days of World Cup action so far. We've witnessed the first big name to be eliminated in Poland, and brought to a close the second round of group stage games.

We'll be here again tomorrow as the third round of games gets underway.
