El Salvador U20 and Colombia U20 meet in the final round robin games, GoonersGuide.com reports. Group C is one of the most competitive groups in the U20 Cup, and all four teams have the opportunity to qualify for the second round.
Colombia, the early to advance from Group C, has a chance to reach the second round as the group winner. Despite a surprising 1-1 draw against Australia U20, Colombia took the lead in Group C with a 1-0 victory over Turkey.
El Salvador, by contrast, is shattering expectations. The squad was believed to be one of the weaker teams as it entered the tournament. Now it's on the verge of breaking into the second round. El Salvador needs a point on Friday to make it to the second round. They defeated Australia in its second game, 2-1, but are still in a hole after their opening three-goal loss in the tournament.
The point situation with Colombia, along with its potent attack, can allow the squad to play the "waiting game" until the final third of the match.
If Colombia scores earlier, the pressure shifts to El Salvador. El Salvador must score early and prevent Colombia from getting a lead.
GoonersGuide.com predicts Colombia to win, 3-0.
