In the Round of 16 of the Women's World Youth Championship, the hosts, Colombia Women's U20 soccer team, will face a strong South Korea Women's U20 soccer team. Colombia's performance in this year's tournament has been amazing, winning all three group matches without conceding a goal, and their solid defense has been the key to their victory. Despite a goal total of two or less, they will aim to break that goal limit in the upcoming matches.
The rise of the Colombian women's soccer team in recent years has been remarkable, and its greatest strength is its strong defense system. In the last edition of the tournament, it was the team's excellent defense that enabled them to make it to the last eight of the tournament. Even in this year's tournament, Colombia has kept the number of goals scored in the first 10 matches to 2 or less. In the knockout stage, to ensure advancement, they only need to maintain a one-goal advantage and play steadily.
The Korean women's soccer team defeated the German women's U20 with a score of 1-0 in the group stage and advanced to the third place in the group. Although the overall strength of the Korean women's soccer team is not top-notch, their players have a physical advantage and their attacking power is not easy to be suppressed. In this year's tournament, they only conceded one goal. In this matchup with Colombia, the Korean women's soccer team is expected to cause problems for their opponents. The difference between the two teams is not expected to be too big, and the 2.5 goal handicap is worth a look.
