In the remaining two qualifying matches, the Colombian team will have to fulfill the task it prolonged and today it is on the verge of the abyss in its quest to win a place in the world cup: to win. The situation is not easy, not only because it will depend on other results to attend Qatar, but because in the last qualifying days it has not done very well.
The tricolor team has not won in a penultimate elimination match since November 14, 2001, when it won 4-0 as a visitor to Paraguay, in the run-up to the Korea-Japan World Cup, which due to difference of a goal he failed to attend. Since then, it has been impossible for him to score three points.
Meanwhile, in the World Cup Dream Brazil 2014, which he attended after 16 years, he tied on the penultimate day with La Roja, although he started falling 3-0 at the Metropolitano Stadium. With hierarchy, both Teofilo Gutiérrez and Radamel Falcao García led the comeback.
And in the fight for a quota to Russia 2018, Colombians fell as locals because of the slightest difference to Paraguay. The loss of those three points dismissed the team so much that it had to go out and play it all against Peru, although in the end a draw was supposedly agreed for the two teams to qualify, which was called the Lima pact.
Against Bolivia, which no longer has any hope of participating in the world championship, the task is especially difficult because of the pressure: Colombia has seven games without scoring a goal, one of the worst continental streaks, and four without winning in Barranquilla, their home.
If there is anything that favors Colombia prior to their match with Bolivia in the qualifying rounds, it is the statistics: the history of matches between the two teams is inclined in favor of the coffee team, which will have to score three points on March 24 if they want to stay alive in the search for a place in the Football World Cup. Qatar 2022.
Out of 13 matches in which these teams faced towards a World Cup Qualifiers, Colombia won in eight, tied in four and lost in one. Good news for the team today led by Reinaldo Rueda is that they won all six matches played at home, both in Bogotá and Barranquilla.
As a visitor (which is not the case of the match scheduled on Friday), Tricolor won twice, although in its most recent record, last year, it equaled a goal.
