A total of 10 teams are battling it out in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the top six securing direct qualification, while the seventh-placed team will enter the intercontinental playoffs.
After a promising start to their qualifying campaign, Colombia have hit a rough patch, losing their last three matches, including a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Brazil last week. The late goal conceded in that match dropped them to sixth place in the standings, just one spot above the playoff position, with Bolivia trailing them by six points.
Nestor Lorenzo라이브 바카라 side had remained unbeaten in their first eight matches, but recent struggles have put them in a must-win situation. While they have shown resilience in both coming from behind and surrendering leads, consistency has been lacking in their performances. With five matches remaining, Colombia need a strong finish to book their ticket to Canada, the United States, and Mexico in 2026.
On the other hand, Paraguay have been in fine form, securing a 1-0 victory over Chile in their last outing. Their qualification hopes looked bleak following a disappointing Copa América campaign, but a managerial change has revived their fortunes. Since Gustavo Alfaro took charge, Paraguay have remained unbeaten in seven successive qualifiers, reigniting their chances of returning to the World Cup for the first time since 2010.
Their turnaround has been built on defensive solidity, as they have conceded the second-fewest goals in the tournament so far. Sitting seven points clear of Bolivia, Paraguay are edging closer to securing an automatic World Cup berth, and a win against Colombia would be a significant step forward.
At present, Argentina lead the standings, followed by Ecuador, Brazil, and Uruguay.
