Latest Colombia vs Bolivia team information

Colombia are without Jhon Durán (Fenerbahce) due to injury, so Jhon Córdoba is likely to start up front. Cucho Hernández and Yaser Asprilla are also absent, while Yerson Mosquera has recovered from a long-term injury and could feature.

A big surprise was the return of Dayro Moreno – the 39-year-old striker had not been called up for nine years, but was playing impressively at Once Caldas and was given a rare opportunity.

On the Bolivian side, Lucas Chaves is suspended after receiving an early red card in the win over Chile. Ramiro Vaca is still injured, while Boris Cespedes is still not called up after saying goodbye to Yverdon (Switzerland).

Young star Miguelito – currently playing for America Mineiro – continues to be the number one hope, with 6 goals in 10 qualifying matches, becoming a rare bright spot for the Andean team.

Latest Colombia vs Bolivia football review

Colombia have not officially qualified for the World Cup, but the scenario of them losing their place in the next round is almost impossible.

With two matches remaining, a 4-point gap over Venezuela (seventh) and a superior goal difference helpThe CafeteriaJust need to have the same result as direct opponent to be sure of a place.

Colombia even has a big advantage when playing at home against Bolivia - a team that is extremely weak when playing away. This is a golden opportunity for Nestor Lorenzo and his team to relieve the pressure after a series of poor performances.

Colombia have not won a game since October last year, with just three points from six qualifying matches. Although a World Cup berth is almost assured, the poor results against Bolivia and Venezuela during this training camp could well put Lorenzo's future in doubt - something that was unthinkable a year ago, when he led the team to the Copa America final.

June's matches continued to disappoint: they were held to a draw at home by Peru, then let Argentina (down to 10 men) equalize despite leading for much of the match.

This time, Colombia has a chance to take revenge against Bolivia, because in the first leg they lost shockingly 0-1 in El Alto. However, the statistics are overwhelmingly in favor of the home team: Bolivia has never scored or won a point when visiting Colombia in World Cup qualifiers.

For their part, Bolivia kept their hopes alive thanks to a 2-0 win over Chile in the 16th round on June 16, playing with one less man for 70 minutes but still dominating their opponents.

It was a vital victory, having lost to Venezuela – their direct rivals for a play-off spot – and in fact, their win over Chile early in the campaign was Bolivia’s first away win in World Cup qualifying since the early 1990s, and their only point away from home.

Currently only 1 point behind Venezuela, butLa Verdeare at a huge disadvantage: a much lower goal difference, a more difficult schedule, and a high probability of having to beat Brazil in the final round to keep their hopes alive, assuming they come away empty-handed in Barranquilla.
