Africa U20 champions South Africa are set to take on Colombia U20 in the round of 16 at the 2025 U20 World Cup. A second-place finish in Group E earned South Africa their spot here, while Colombia topped Group F. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Colombia’s best performance at the U20 World Cup was in 2003, when they finished in third place. They will be looking to better their two draws at the group stage after failing to build on their 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
Colombia are coming off a tense round three match in the group stage against Nigeria in which they conceded late for a 1-1 draw. That was their seventh unbeaten game.
South Africa has grown into the competition after their opening defeat to France. They finished second in Group E but with more points than Colombia, who led in their group.
The African representatives feel okay donning the underdogs’ tag in this competition but doing the job on the pitch. After their loss to France, South Africa beat New Caledonia 5-0 and then came from behind to stun the USA U20 2-1 in the final group game.
That was Amajita’s eighth win in 10 matches, and in the process they only lost once. Coming here as continental champions, South Africa can’t be brushed aside, especially after having scored 2+ in seven of their last 10 matches.

Our Colombia -20 vs South Africa -20 Prediction
South Africa will be glad to enter this game as the underdogs. Their recovery from losing the opening game to finishing above France in their group shows just how possible it is for Amajita to pull an upset. They will be gunning for the same here, and they can bank on their sharp attack.
Colombia has struggled a bit in attack, though doing well defensively. There is a possibility the South Americans will be forced to sit deep to contain South Africa’s attack. How successful that can be remains to be seen. Our prediction for Colombia U20 v South Africa U20 is that South Africa -20 wins the match.
