The FIFA U-20 World Cup is about to end its group stage, and things are getting tighter in some of those groups. On June 6th, Groups C & D will know which teams make it to the knockout stages. The first group playing that day will see Portugal and Colombia, two of the historic teams in this category fighting for the top spot, while Senegal needs to avoid any surprises to win a spot in the Round of 16. Group D on the other hand may watch an odd combination of winners, since all teams have a fighting chance of making it to the next round. Right now, Serbia and Mali lead the pack, but Uruguay and Mexico sure have what it takes to make things go their way.
Group C: Portugal vs Colombia
Portugal has the upper hand against Los Cafetaleros. The European team took control of the group with six points thanks to their wins over Senegal and Qatar, and they just need a draw to secure the group's top spot. A win for Colombia would make them first, while a draw would guarantee them the second place in the group.
Group C: Senegal vs Qatar
Both sides desperately need the win and hope for the best in order to qualify. While the African side is currently third with only one point, the Lions of Teranga need a victory that would most likely put them through as one of the best third places in the tournament. If Colombia loses against Portugal, then the Lions could look at a second place finish once the goal difference is ready. Things are more complicated for the Qataris, a side that needs a win to assure a third place finish and wait for other combinations to see if they are through.
Group D: Serbia vs Mexico
The European side is currently first, but only two goals separate them from Mexico as they have won one game and lost the other one. A draw would almost assure Serbia a place in the next round, but Mexico won't make it easy for them since tying the game could leave El Tri out of the competition.
Group D: Mali vs Uruguay
Both teams need a win to avoid anything bad from happening. Right now, both sides are even in every category, and whoever wins will have their place in the next round regardless of what happens in the other game. Mali lost their last game against Serbia and won against Mexico, while the Uruguayans started off with a bang after defeating the Europeans, but lost with El Tri in the dying seconds of the game.
