The Colombian National Team has this Thursday the great opportunity to seal its classification to the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada 2026. At the Roberto Meléndez de Barranquilla Metropolitan Stadium (6:30 pm), the tricolor will be measured before Bolivia by the penultimate date of the South American qualifiers.

This duel, by history and payroll, is presented as favorable for those led by Nestor Lorenzo. Since the format of the qualifiers, it is disputed with the system of all against all, the tricolor and the green have faced seven times in Colombian territory.

The registration does not admit discussion: seven victories for the coffee team and no annotation received against. Most of these meetings were played in the heat of the Metropolitan of Barranquilla, although two were the stage of the El Campín de Bogotá stadium, where the national team was also imposed.

Not breaking that favorable streak over Bolivia would not only confirm the return to a World Cup after the frustration of the absence in Catar 2022, but would also return the confidence of a group that has gone more than less in the qualifier after achieving the runner -up of the Copa América 2024.

Bolivia, on the other hand, faces the commitment without margin of error and with the motivation to cut a historical drought on Colombian soil. The green arrives with the possibility of playing repechage and, like Colombia, it will be aware of what happens in Buenos Aires between Argentina and Venezuela.
