Colombia and DR Congo meet in Group K at Estadio Akron in Guadalajara on June 23, 2026 (8:00 PM local time), with Colombia looking to extend their lead at the top of the standings after a 3-1 opening win over Uzbekistan. DR Congo head into this fixture on the back of a creditable 1-1 draw with Portugal, their first World Cup point in the country’s history. The central betting question is whether Colombia’s attacking depth is enough to overcome a DR Congo side that has already shown it can hold its own against top-tier opposition.
Colombia are priced as firm favorites at -192 with BetOnline and Lucky Rebel, a reflection of their superior tournament pedigree and the momentum they carry from Matchday 1. Six goals across their last two competitive appearances, combined with a squad that features Luis Díaz (now at Bayern Munich) and captain James Rodríguez (126 caps, 31 international goals), give Colombia a clear edge on paper. DR Congo, making only their second World Cup appearance, arrive as significant underdogs at +650 but demonstrated defensive organization against Portugal that cannot be dismissed.
