Colombia Preview – Can Colombia build on recent win?
An encouraging and very welcome three points in a 3-0 win away from home at Peru in their previous match saw Colombia return to winning ways following a run of three group games without a win and in turn kept Colombia’s hopes alive of a top four finish.
Colombia had previously drawn 2-2 with Chile away from home which was a good point on the road but they then suffered back-to-back defeats against Uruguay 3-0 at home and a heavy 6-1 thrashing away at Ecuador.
Recent results on home soil in World Cup qualifiers have produced mixed returns for Colombia who have managed to win just two of their last seven qualifiers, with wins over Bolivia and Venezuela but they’ve failed to beat Argentina in their last three meetings at home, losing two of these.
Argentina Preview – Can Argentina preserve unbeaten status?
Argentina occupy 2nd place in the South American World Cup qualifying group standings and are four points adrift of leaders, Brazil, but nevertheless, it’s been a solid campaign so far by Argentina who still remain unbeaten after the first five matches.
Victories over Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru have seen Argentina make the most of their fixtures against the lesser nations in the group while also picking up points in draws with Paraguay and Chile and overall results in World Cup qualifiers have been pretty good.
Argentina have lost just three of their previous 22 matches overall and they’ll be confident that they can pick up at least a point, if not all three here at Colombia on Tuesday evening.
