Colombia and Portugal Set for Group K Showdown in Miami
The heavyweight finale in Miami is likely to decide who tops Group K, with Ronaldo and Luis Diaz centre stage.
The standout fixture of Group K closes the group stage at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on 27 June, as Colombia and Portugal meet in a contest most likely to decide who finishes top of the section.
Two heavyweights collide
Portugal carry the group's most recognisable names, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and a midfield of Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes and Joao Neves. Colombia, the group's second force, boast a high-flying attack inspired by Luis Diaz and the experience of James Rodriguez, and reached the quarter-finals as recently as 2014.
Stakes and atmosphere
With both expected to be in contention for qualification, top spot and a kinder knockout route are on the line. A large, vocal Colombian following is anticipated in Miami, matched by Portugal's travelling support.
Prediction
A tight, high-quality affair between evenly matched sides. Prediction: Colombia 1-1 Portugal.
