Uzbekistan vs. Colombia Best Prop Bet

Luis Diaz Anytime Goal (+120)

Before the tournament began, I made the case for betting on Luis Diaz to win the Golden Boot. Now, in his first match, it's time for me to put my money where my mouth is. Diaz took a significant step forward in his development this season, scoring 26 goals in 51 appearances for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. The 29-year-old is now set to lead a stout Colombian offensive attack, having already scored 22 goals for his country throughout his eight years on the team.

Uzbekistan vs. Colombia Prediction and Best Bet

In today's edition of my Best World Cup Bets Today, I broke down why I'm betting on Colombia to win by at least two goals:

In my opinion, Colombia is the third best team out of South America behind Argentina and Brazil, so I'm surprised they're not bigger favorites against a bad Uzbekistan team. Uzbekistan suffered a 2-0 loss to Canada less than two weeks before the World Cup began. Colombia is going to overwhelm them on Wednesday night.
