“We can't lower our arms, I see the team as strong. We are very strong and we know a little about Colombia's present, its strengths. “We are able to play a very good game here in Barranquilla and get a good result.” is what convinces us to overcome these difficulties. All I think about is getting a good result.

“We analyze, although we saw a lot against Colombia, we always try to neutralize the opponent, but we also try to stay relaxed. It is necessary that we loosen up in the game, it is something fundamental for our growth and so we can develop what we are capable of.”

“We are in a situation where Colombia may become the favorites, but we as a group are starting to increase our chances as Chile loosens up, without taking the precautions that the game has due to the importance “We must be attentive in every way.”

“It is a double-edged sword (Chile's difficult present) because a very needy team will give everything until the last breath. So it will be a very difficult game because they have very good players and a great coach.”

“James took a lot of wear and tear but he did very well. We had previously done very important work with all players to mitigate the effects of the altitude and now we have worked on recovery after the game, so everyone will be very well received.”

“We know what we are playing for. The most important thing is to respect it throughout the game. We believe in what we have, in the work we have done. We have to approach this game seriously and we are convinced that we will. Get the three points.

In Chile the presence of Eduardo Vargas stands out. The 34-year-old midfielder is one of the team's standout players so far in qualifying, where he scored two goals in three games played and started all games. He played a total of 245 minutes.

In Colombia the presence of James Rodríguez stands out. The 33-year-old striker has been one of the team's standout players so far in the qualifying rounds, with two goals and three assists in nine games played, starting six of them. He played a total of 606 minutes.

In the South American qualifiers…

If we only look at the times they faced each other in the South American qualifiers, we count 17 duelswhere the numbers speak for Colombia with six wins, while Chile won four, which corresponds to a record of seven draws.

If you take into account how many times Colombia played at home against Chile in the South American qualifiers, that's eight gameswhere the Colombians have the advantage with four wins compared to one win for the Australians and the three draws that occurred.

Chile is not doing well in qualifying and has just lost its last home game against Brazil by the narrowest of margins. Furthermore, Peru's victory over Uruguay meant that Ricardo Gareca's team was overtaken and finished bottom of the table.

The generational change has not been easy for the Australians, who still have a lot of work to do if they are to avoid a fifth consecutive qualifying defeat and revive their chances of qualifying for the World Cup.

Colombia have just lost their visit to Bolivia, in a game in which they were unable to muster the superiority they had for most of the game. However, the Bolivian team was able to play at home and got three points. This ended Colombia's streak of 31 games without defeat in 90 minutes during the Néstor Lorenzo era.

However, the Colombian team remains in second place as Uruguay also lost to Peru the day before and is only three points behind Argentina, who drew in Venezuela.
