  • Colombia are unbeaten in their last three games.
  • Los Cafeteros have also not conceded a single goal in as many games.
  • Brazil boast the better head-to-head record, winning 19 of their 30 meetings (D8, L3).
  • The last time the Selecao traveled to Colombia, they drew 0-0.
  • Neymar and Co. have lost only once in the entire qualifying round – vs Chile in their opening game.

Preview

Not a lot is at stake for Brazil, other than pride. The Selecao have already booked their ticket to Russia for the 2018 World Cup as they are 11 points ahead of second-placed Colombia.

For Jose Pekerman’s side, it is a must win clash. The race for the remaining three automatic qualifications is tights, as only two points separate them from fifth-placed Argentina.

A defeat could see Colombia drop to fifth – the play-off spot. Both Argentina and Chile face already eliminated sides, thus piling the pressure on the hosts to overcome the high-flying Selecao.

Unfortunatelty for the hosts, they could be without influential attacker James Rodriguez who is short on fitness. The visitors will be without the suspended Marcelo and injured Miranda.

Match facts

  • In 10 home games in the qualifying round, Paraguay have lost only twice (W2, D2).
  • Uruguay have lost five of their last six games.
  • Only three points separates the visitors, 3rd in the standings, from the seventh-placed hosts.
  • La Celeste are winless away from home since 2015.
  • That runs stretches for eight games, six of which Cavani and Co. lost.

Preview

Just as an overreliance on Messi could be the demise of Argentina, Uruguay’s awful away record could end their dream of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Suarez and Cavani make for an impressive attacking duo, but La Celeste’s defense continues to be their weak link when on the road.

Uruguay currently sit in third, but defeat could see them drop, going level on points with Paraguay and Peru – though Oscar Tabarez’s side have a superior goal difference. If Paraguay win, they could jump in fourth – given that both Argentina and Chile lost their respective games.
