With four games left in the CONMEBOL Qualifiers, Thursday's clashes promise to be quite intense for all teams looking for a spot in the 2018 World Cup to take place in Russia.
Brazil is the only team already qualified in this region, leaving three more direct tickets to the world's most important football tournament. As of now, Colombia, Uruguay and Chile hold the other three spots to play in Russia, while Argentina is fighting to avoid a playoff against a team from Oceania.
Here are the standings prior to Thursday's games.
Chile vs Paraguay
La Roja still have their future on their own hands, since winning all their games would secure a WC spot for Juan Pizzi's men. Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sánchez will try to thump Paraguay out of the competition, as one more loss for Los Guaraníes would complicate their chances to even fight for the playoff spot.

Uruguay vs Argentina
The "Clásico del Río de la Plata" will be a crucial tie for both contenders, as Uruguay could leapfrog Colombia and practically earn their spot in the World Cup. On the other hand, La Albiceleste will hope to get a win at Estadio Centenario, with coach Jorge Sampaoli will try to provide the proper strategy for Messi, Dybala and former outcast Mauro Icardi to damage Los Charrúas. Luis Suárez's presence in this game is still doubtful, but his involvement in this clash will be determined just hours before the clash begins.
