Venezuela – Colombia : Preview & Prediction
Colombia are in a very tense situation as they do not have their fate in their own hands on the final day. The Tricolor must win in Venezuela while hoping for a draw or a defeat for Peru against Paraguay to reach the play-offs. Falcao’s team, in sixth place, one point behind fifth-placed Peru, returned to winning ways on the final day against Bolivia (3-0) on 25 March after two defeats against Peru (0-1) and Argentina (1-0). This failure at home against Peru against the course of the game is the turning point of these Qualifiers for the Colombians. Undefeated in their last 6 meetings (3 wins and 3 draws) against Venezuela, Colombia will have a psychological advantage over their opponent after the large victory in the first leg (3-0) in October 2020. The Vinotinto will finish in last place regardless of this last result. Pekerman’s side have not been at their best in these qualifiers, having lost 13 of their 17 games. Aristeguieta and his team have lost 9 times in the last 11 games, including 2 defeats in Uruguay (4-1) and Argentina (3-0) in their last two games. In their last five home games, Venezuela have failed to win against Argentina (1-3), Brazil (1-3) and Peru (1-2). Will Colombia punish Venezuela again?
