Colombia hosts Paraguay in round 14 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 17th at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez (Barranquilla)
The Colombians have not gained a single victory in the last four matches in a row. But they had to play against Uruguay away and twice against Brazil, and the current team of Ecuador is also not a gift. At the same time, the Coffee Growers lost only to the Brazilians. Reinaldo Rueda's team has every chance of getting to the World Cup in Qatar. Colombia, Chile, and Uruguay have 16 points each and share 4th-6th places, so the whole struggle is ahead.

Paraguay also had (and still has) options to qualify for the Qatari World Cup, as four points separate it from the upcoming opponent. But the Guaranies have no particular desire to go there. Well, how else to explain three defeats in their last three matches? Well, okay, the Paraguayans lost to Chile away and at home, but they also lost to Bolivia. Yes, the match was played in La Paz, but the team that wants to go to the World Cup should earn points everywhere...
Most likely, the Paraguayans will not score these points in Colombia as well. As I noted above, the Coffee Growers didn’t win in the last four rounds, but they lost only once and did not face such weak opponents as Bolivia. And in terms of the game, the Colombians did not look very bad even in Sao Paulo, where they were tying 0-0 until the 72nd minute but didn’t keep Paqueta and conceded a decisive goal. But the Coffee Growers have played against almost all the favorites (except for Argentina and Ecuador), which means it's time to beat their competitors. Paraguay in its current state does not even reach the status of an equal opponent in the upcoming confrontation. It lost five of the last seven matches in Colombia. Moreover, the Guaranies did not even manage to score a consolation goal and conceded six times in the last three rounds, so it will be hard for them to count on even one point. Colombia, which looks more powerful at the moment, will probably earn three points in the home game, as it needs them to fight for a ticket to Qatar.
Prediction for the match: Colombia to win
