Colombia, which accumulates 17 points, two less than Uruguay, today in the Repechage zone, visits Argentina in Córdoba next Tuesday, without Yerry Mina, suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards. In the last double date, at the end of March, they receive Bolivia, a normally very weak away team, and close against Venezuela as a visitor, precisely the team of José Pekerman, the coach who took them to two World Cups (2014 and 2018) .

chili, which has 16 units, visits Bolivia next Tuesday at the height of La Paz. Neither will Arturo Vidal, who must serve the suspension for the expulsion in the defeat against Ecuador, in Santiago. At the end of the classification, he visits Brazil. Remember: the Verdeamarela never in its history lost a home game for Qualifiers. The closing is against Uruguay, at home.
And both Colombia and Chile have direct rivals that will be local on the next date: Peru against Ecuador and Uruguay against Venezuela.
