China comes into the encounter after snatching a victory from Mexico after a mediocre effort, but there seemed to be potential and a lot of room for improvement. The 4-4-2 formation occasionally seemed shaky last time but had enough to hold a tidy lead to secure three points. Anzhi Wang would anticipate his team playing a lot of possession-based football instead of defending and launching a surprise attack.
In the meantime, Columbia’s campaign got off to a frightening start when they were thoroughly embarrassed by Spain in the middle of the field and lost the ball too frequently for the manager’s liking. Only 30% of the game’s possession was theirs to keep, and they only mustered one attempt on goal. Maria Camila would want to play a more 4-3-3 versus Spain since she would expect a lot better performance from her team.
Both sides will be expected to start their strongest XIs from Matchday one of their respective campaign openers, having played just one game.
