How they got here:

 - Switzerland earned its place in the knockout stage by advancing from Group B before dispatching Algeria 2-0 in the Round of 32. The Swiss have been disciplined defensively throughout the tournament, while their attack has received timely contributions from rising star Johan Manzambi alongside veterans Breel Embolo and Granit Xhaka.
 - Colombia topped a difficult Group K that included Portugal, DR Congo and Uzbekistan before edging Ghana 1-0 in the Round of 32. Led by the creativity of Luis Díaz and the tactical flexibility of manager Néstor Lorenzo, Los Cafeteros have been one of the tournament's most consistent teams, conceding just one goal through four matches.
Betting Tip: Both teams defend well, and knockout matches often become tactical affairs with few clear-cut chances to score goals.

Free Pick for World Cup Round of 16

The Knockout stage World Cup play for Tuesday is on Switzerland plus the half goal. Rotation number 225596 at 4 Eastern. This is likely the closest most tactically played game we should see in the round. Columbia has kept 3 straight clean sheets, conceding just once. However they will take on a Swiss team that has scored 9 goals thus far and will fight for ball control here. The game is may very well be tied and go into extra time or even kicks but we favor the Swiss team here as they will look to play a low block and frustrate Columbia and negate their attacking style while moving fast into transition with their big physical front line. This game likely falls right on 2 goals after regulation as neither team will take many chances as the game moves into the later stages. GL  RV!!

The Pick: Play on Switzerland plus the half goal, currently listed at -146 at leading sportsbook BetOnline.ag.
