Senegal and Colombia square off in an important Group H fixture on Thursday at 10 a.m. ET in the 2018 World Cup. Colombia enters this match needing a victory to secure its place in the round of 16, while Senegal can advance with a draw. Colombia is a -120 favorite on the money line against Senegal, meaning you'd need to wager $120 on a Colombian victory to win $100. Senegal is +350 (risk $100 to win $350), while a draw is +260. The Over-Under on total goals scored in this 2018 World Cup match is 2.5. Colombia is 30-1 to win the entire Word Cup 2018, while Senegal is 150-1.

Before you enter your 2018 World Cup picks, you need to see what European football expert David Sumpter has to say. Sumpter is an applied mathematician who wrote "Soccermatics," a book that explains how math works inside the sport. Along with other experienced analysts, Sumpter developed the powerful Soccerbot model. 

The Soccerbot reads current odds and all team performance data, calculates key metrics and predicts upcoming matches. In nearly three seasons since its inception, the Soccerbot is up an incredible 1,800 percent on bookmakers' closing odds. 

The Soccerbot has already nailed draws for Argentina-Iceland (+385) and Brazil-Switzerland (+360). It also correctly predicted Iran upsetting Morocco at +275, just to name a few of its big calls. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Now, Soccerbot has digested the film, crunched the numbers and broken down every single player on Senegal and Colombia. The model has released a very strong money-line pick, which it's sharing over at SportsLine. 

The model has taken the tight race to the next round out of Group H into consideration.

Senegal will advance to the 2018 World Cup knockout stage with a draw against Colombia. The Senegalese can also win Group H with a positive result and a Japan loss against Poland. Those two nations also square off at 10 a.m. ET on Thursday.

This will be just the second meeting against a South American side at a World Cup for Senegal. Their first meeting was against Uruguay in 2002, a match that ended in a 3-3 draw. Senegal will look to get Sadio Mane involved early and often against Colombia. Senegal is unbeaten in the 15 matches Mane has found the back of the net (9 wins, 6 draws). 

So which hungry nation wins Thursday? Or does it end in a draw? Visit SportsLine now to see the strong Senegal-Colombia money-line pick, all from a European soccer expert whose powerful model is up 1,800 percent in less than three years.
