Chile-Colombia, World Cup qualifiers: lineups, predictions

by Martin

Chile-Colombia is a match valid for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. How to watch the match, predictions and probable formations

Colombia’s moment of form is truly extraordinary: four wins in a row in the last four outings for Cuadrado and his teammates, who beat Venezuela on their debut in these World Cup qualifiers, taking three immediately heavy points.

No points, however, for Chile, downed by Uruguay in a match with little history. Sanchez’s health problems, which fortunately are not that serious after a few days of apprehension, have certainly caused the team to lose a little concentration, which is now called for immediate redemption. Chile needs a win, but they know that the commitment is very difficult against a strong national team, which is well both mentally and physically, and is undoubtedly one of the best in South America.

To give an idea of the in any case very tactical match that will be, in the last five confrontations between these clubs four times at the end of ninety minutes a draw has come out. The victory, the only one, was placed by Colombia in 2021, at home, and always in a qualifying match for the next World Cup. In short, a truly triple match, which, however, has one certainty.

The Prediction

And that certainty from earlier is the fact that both teams tonight should be able to find their way to the net. The bookmakers, then, give Colombia a slight favorite, but honestly we don’t think so. Maybe it could end in a draw – the most likely outcome, given the record as well, is precisely that – or maybe Chile could pull off the upset. But thinking about an outside win seems to us a little exaggerated.

The likely lineups for Chile-Colombia

  • CHILE (4-4-2): Cortes; Mehssatou, Medel, Marzipan, Suazo; Osorio, Vidal, Pulgar, Brereton; Nunez, Valdes.
  • COLOMBIA (4-3-3): Vargas; Munoz, Mina, Lucumi, Machado; Arias, Lerma, Rodriguez; Cuadrado, Borre, Diaz.

POSSIBLE EXACT RESULT: 1-1
