Colombia will play its World Cup qualification this Thursday against Bolivia: schedule and where to watch the match

In the last two FIFA dates of the South American Qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the Colombian team will face Bolivia and Venezuela, duels where those led by Reinaldo Rueda will seek a complicated qualification to the World Cup.

It should be noted that the Colombian team comes from adding another bad result and reached a new anti-record: 630 minutes without scoring; thus becoming the team with the longest time without generating a goal in the continent. And it should be remembered that, in this round, it is the worst that the national team has played in this century. Since Japan and Korea 2002 to date, the national team has never scored so few points.

To date, coffee growers are ranked number 7 in the standings of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers with 17 points and three goals against, worse records than those of the 2010 South Africa Qualifiers, in which the national team was eighth in the standings, but with 20 points.

For its part, the team led by César Farías is one place below Colombia with 15 points and 12 scores against. In the last five matches of the Bolivian national team they have 3 losses and 2 wins.

Remember that this classification was complicated when Colombia faced teams that were not far from the fifth place. Well, the draw against Bolivia, in local condition, plus the two draws against Paraguay were decisive results. If this had been different, that is, not having lost the 6 points, today Colombia would be one point higher than Uruguay, which is fourth with 22 points.

Now, assuming that the national team scores all three points in these two matches — against Bolivia and Venezuela — it needs Peru to draw or lose to Uruguay in Montevideo and Paraguay in Lima. That is to aspire to a repechage that will be played in June. And, if the 'tricolor' is in the fifth box, the World Cup draw will be held until next April 1.

Finally, the Colombia team will host Bolivia at the Metropolitano de Barranquilla this Thursday, March 24, at 6:30pm local time, and will close with Venezuela in San Cristóbal on the 30th of the same month, at 7:30pm Colombian time.
