Colombia is playing without its talismanic striker, Radamel Falcao, who is out with an injury.  This is a huge blow to “Los Cafeteros.” But they plan to prove that they have considerable depth across the squad in taking on Greece.

Greece wants to reverse an opening-match trend from their two previous World Cups (1994 and 2010) when they lost their first games without scoring a goal.
Each team has talented strikers. But this match will likely be about defence, defence, defence.

While this match may not be a fan favourite for those who like goals, defence may make all the difference between these two teams.

Greece had five clean sheets during qualifying, second only to Ukraine in terms of European teams. Meanwhile, by conceding only 13 goals in 16 matches, Chile had the best defence in South American qualifying.

We think it will be a match of few goals, do you agree? Send your predictions
