It is a Group C match in which there is everything to gain for two sides who began their World Cup campaigns with victories.
Colombia top the group after a dominant 3-0 victory over Greece while Ivory Coast hit back from a goal down to beat Japan 2-1.
The Japanese struggled to make their high-tempo, high-energy gameplan work against the Africans but Colombia midfielder Fredy Guarin says the South Americans will look to bypass the physical advantages of the Elephants by making the ball do the work.
"They're a very physically strong team who fight for every ball and will rely on their physicality to try to beat us, but with our football, our passing and control of the ball we can have success," said the 27-year-old.

"To beat them we have a plan and we mustn't have any doubts about that plan.
"We have to be very intelligent, always keep the game under control, don't give the ball away and take a breather with the ball, but above all have confidence in what we're doing."
"Our concentration was very important against Greece. It was important to secure the zero (goals conceded) because the whole team fulfilled the defensive strategy," said Guarin.
