Colombia are favored but Guadalajara's altitude and Congo's physicality even things out.
Guadalajara's altitude may favour a Colombia side more used to such conditions and richer in creative talent. DR Congo's athleticism keeps them live, but chasing possession will hurt.
Colombia will use the 1560m altitude in Guadalajara to simply wear down a physical DR Congo side.
Colombia use altitude advantage in Guadalajara vs DR Congo.
