Without margin of error, these are the accounts of the Colombia team to qualify for Qatar 2022

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. There are six points at stake, of which the national team cannot even give the chance to draw.

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 South American Qualifiers for Qatar 2022 with 17 points and three goals against, worse records than those of the South American Qualifiers for South Africa 2010, in which the national team was eighth in the standings, but with 20 points.

Uruguay, Peru, Chile and Colombia are the four teams that will fight for the direct quota and the repechage to go to the World Cup, places that remain in the Conmebol standings. For its part, the Colombian national team is the least likely to reach the fifth square, since, according to statistics, it has only 1% chance of entering directly and 3% of reaching by repechage.

Now, assuming that the national team scores six points in these two matches, it needs Peru to draw or lose to Uruguay in Montevideo and Paraguay in Lima. Likewise, coffee growers should expect that Chile will not score points against Brazil, but that it can eventually beat Uruguay at home. 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.

On the other hand, this classification was complicated when Colombia faced teams that were not far from the fifth place. Well, the draw against Bolivia, at the height of La Paz, plus the two draws against Paraguay were results that succumbed in the standings against Colombia.

In addition, it should be borne in mind that, as Reinaldo Rueda himself explained, one of the factors that affected the success of the goal was the low level at which some of the players called were, but he stated that the strikers were the ones who made the most failures since they failed to define key moves.

There are only a few hours left before the commitment between the Colombian team and the Bolivian national team for the 17th date of the qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The 'Tricolor' clings to the accounts in order to qualify and, to do so, will have to look for the victory this Thursday against 'La Verde' at the Metropolitano Stadium in Barranquilla, which received a sanction by FIFA.

Reinaldo Rueda, in the course of the qualifiers, has used to maintaining a player base, beyond some tweaks in the initial roster. In the face of Yerry Mina's injury and the few minutes that Dávinson Sanchez has had at Tottenham, the defensive backward would undergo changes. The starters would be Carlos Cuesta and Jeison Lucumí.

Wilmar Barrios is one of the 'untouchables' in the team, but the question would be who his companion should be, playing the role of mixed steering wheel. Matheus Uribe would win the pulse of Jefferson Lerma, who has accumulated distinctions in English football.

James and Quintero together? As explained earlier, Rueda did not close the door to this option, which is why it would not be surprising if you decide to include both of us in the headline. The last time the two creative fliers were on the pitch together was in October 2018, in a friendly against Costa Rica.

In the offensive zone, Rafael Santos Borré would serve as a pivot, helping in the game generation to nurture the main striker: Luis Fernando Muriel. In this last position, Miguel Ángel Borja could also come into consideration, especially for the locality.

Colombia's' eleven 'would be this: David Ospina; Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, Carlos Cuesta, William Tesillo, Frank Fabra; Wilmar Barrios, Matheus Uribe, James Rodriguez, Juan Fernando Quintero; Rafael Santos Borré and Luis Fernando Muriel. Training: 4-4-2.
