Colombia vs. Uruguay World Cup Odds: Uruguay May Lack Bite Without Suarez

Colombia vs. Uruguay World Cup betting odds had Colombia at EVEN odds and Uruguay paying between 3-1 and 4-1 odds at Bookmaker here.  The Draw will pay out US$24 for every US$10 bet.  Colombia is seeing nearly 80% of the action in this matchup and it should be noted that Luis Suarez will not be playing for Uruguay due to the recent biting incident and suspension handed down yesterday.

Colombia and Uruguay’s only previous World Cup encounter was in the group stages of the 1962 tournament; the Celeste won 2-1 despite Colombia opening the scoring. It is Colombia’s only previous game against a fellow South American team at the World Cup.

Uruguay have won six of their last eight encounters with Colombia (D1 L1).

Uruguay won their first five World Cup games against South American teams but have lost their last two (v Brazil in 1970 and Argentina in 1986).
