Is there no hope? This is how the betting goes on the match between Venezuela and Colombia

This Tuesday, March 29, the Colombian national team will visit Venezuela to play the last date of the South American Qualifiers to Qatar 2022. In the last match, which was against Bolivia, the national team opened up a small chance of going to the World Cup after winning 3-0.

Despite this new result, one day after the last date of the qualifying round, the bookmakers have left numbers showing that Colombians and other personalities have no faith that the national team can beat Venezuela.

According to information from bet365, the bets are in favor of the team led by José Pekerman with a score of 4.75, out of 5, followed by the probability of a draw, which is at 3.80 and, finally, with only 1.66 points is the vote in favor of the victory of the national team.

This means that the visitor win pays between 1.66 and 1.73 the amount wagered. The victory of the llanera squad has odds ranging from 4.70 to 4.75, according to the bookmaker. And finally, if you 'win' the tie, it multiplies the bets between 3.60 and 3.80.

As for which team can go to the repechage, so far, the bets have the Peruvian team as the favorite, as it is currently fifth with 21 points (-5), which has the highest probability of keeping the repechage with 62%, according to the bookmakers. It is followed by Colombia with 22% and Chile with 5.9%.

The final day will be crucial for Colombia, as it will depend on the results of other matches to be able to go to the repechage. Now, it should be borne in mind that there are two more teams that are in the same situation as the squad led by Reinaldo Rueda: Peru and Chile.

For the miracle to happen, it must be borne in mind that the Colombian team is in sixth place in the standings, with 20 points; one down from Peru, which is fifth, so it will have to beat Venezuela and hope that the Gareca team does not score the three points against Paraguay; and that Chile beats Uruguay, since with this score would manage to seal his way to the repechage.

Now, the team led by Reinaldo Rueda is training for Tuesday's duel against José Pékerman's Vinotinto. With this match, it will be the eighth consecutive qualifier that Colombia has closed as a visitor and, in the previous seven, it has not lost any commitments.

Of the seven closing matches played, there are only two draws, against Argentina, in Buenos Aires, to secure a spot for the 1998 World Cup in France, and 1-1 in Lima against Peru to win the direct qualification to Russia 2018. In addition, for the United States 1994 it was 0-5 in the Monumental and from the Korea-Japan Qualifiers to those in Brazil, the rival was Paraguay, with four wins from the 'tricolor' in Asunción, but only qualifying in 2014.

Despite the fact that the history and numbers favor the Colombian national team, from the fans and fans of the sport it is believed that Venezuela will defeat Colombia and that it will be Ricardo Gareca's team that will go to the repechage date and thus achieve their entry to the World Cup.
