Colombia vs. Ghana: Surprise Daniel Munoz odds you should back for World Cup clash

Colombia were impressive in the World Cup 2026 group stage, collecting seven points and finishing above pre-tournament group favourites Portugal in first place.

Their reward is a round of 32 clash against Ghana, with Opta giving them a 64.8% chance of winning and progressing into the round of 16.

Daniel Munoz is a key player for Colombia and was highly influential in the group stage, scoring two of the South Americans' four goals.

His odds of netting again versus Ghana are surprising to us given his high goal threat, and so here is why we are backing Munoz to score anytime at 7/1 (8.00).

Daniel Munoz's impressive group stage

As mentioned before, Munoz scored twice for Colombia in the group stage to help them finish as group winners, and only James Rodriguez (six) and Yerry Mina (three) have scored more goals for Los Cafeteros in a single World Cup campaign.

He averaged an impressive one shot per game as a defender, also showing how efficient he was in front of goal, and his xG tally of 0.76 was only behind Luis Diaz (1.41) in the squad.

Munoz has scored five times in total for his country in 49 senior international appearances, again a decent number for a defender, and will be determined to help his team as much as he can as he is set to earn a milestone 50th cap against Ghana.

Very much like at club level with Crystal Palace, Munoz is given the licence to bomb forward and support attacks from right-back, and with Colombia expected to dominate possession, he should get plenty of chances to break into the final third and have shots on goal.

Daniel Munoz to score vs Ghana?

Munoz is priced at 7/1 (8.00) by bookies to score anytime against Ghana, which we feel is generous based on his goal threat and form heading into the clash.

Surprisingly, as many as 15 players have shorter odds than him to score, both from Colombia and Ghana.

The South Americans are expected to win the match, and will be relying on key players like Munoz to help them do so.

Nonetheless, having already scored twice at the World Cup so far, we are backing Munoz to do so again.
