“We come with good feelings, we come with the intention of winning. We are in a situation in which we need results and to win”.
“We must not lower our arms, I see the team strong. We are very strong and we know a little bit about Colombia’s present, its strengths. We are able to play a very good match and get a good result here in Barranquilla, that is what keeps us convinced to overcome these difficulties. I am only thinking about getting a good result”.
“We are analyzing, even though we have seen a lot of Colombia, we always try to neutralize the opponent, but we also try to get loose. It is necessary that we can loosen up in the game, it is something fundamental for our growth and thus be able to develop what we are capable of doing”.
“We are in a situation in which Colombia may become the favorite, but we as a group, to the extent that Chile can loosen up, our chances begin to grow, without failing to take the precautions that the match deserves due to the importance of the opponent and our situation. We have to be attentive in every aspect”.
“I think it’s going to be an interesting game, we must play an intelligent game, but respecting our own. I don’t think Chile is going to get behind and I don’t think we’ll speculate too much with their desperation”.
“It’s a double-edged sword (Chile’s tough present), because a very needy team is going to give everything until the last breath. So it’s going to be a very tough game because they have very good players and a great coach.”
“James put in a lot of wear and tear, but he finished very well. We had done a very important previous work on all the players to mitigate the effects of the altitude and now we have done post-match work on recovery, so everyone is going to arrive very well.”
“We know what we are playing for. The most important thing is to respect it throughout the game. We believe in what we have, in the work we have been doing. We have to approach this match seriously and we are convinced that we will get the three points.
This is what both teams’ locker rooms look like for today’s game.

In Chile, the presence of Eduardo Vargas stands out. The 34 year-old midfielder is one of the most outstanding players of the team so far in the qualifiers where he has scored two goals in three games played, being a starter in all of them. He has played a total of 245 minutes.

In Colombia, the presence of James Rodriguez stands out. The 33-year-old striker is one of the most outstanding players of the team so far in the qualifying rounds, with two goals and three assists in nine games played, being a starter in six of them. He has played a total of 606 minutes.
These two teams have met on 44 occasions. The statistics are in favor of Chile, which has emerged victorious on 15 occasions, while Colombia has won on 11 occasions, leaving a balance of 17 draws.

In the South American Qualifiers…

Referring only to the times they have faced each other in the South American qualifiers, we count 17 duels, where the numbers are in favor of Colombia with six victories, while Chile has won four, for a balance of seven draws.
If we take into account the number of times Colombia has been at home against Chile in the South American qualifiers, there are eight matches, where the Colombians have the advantage with four wins over one that the Australians have won, and the three draws that have taken place.

Chile is not doing well in the qualifiers and has just lost its most recent match against Brazil at home by the minimum difference. In addition, Peru’s victory over Uruguay meant overtaking Ricardo Gareca’s team and leaving it in last place in the table.
The generational change has not been easy for the Australians, who have a lot of work to do if they want to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat in the qualifiers and revive their chances of qualifying for the World Cup.

Colombia has just lost in its visit to Bolivia, in a match where it could not make the extra man it had in most of the game felt. However, the Bolivian team was able to play at home and took the three points. With that, Colombia’s streak of 31 matches without losing in 90 minutes in the Néstor Lorenzo era came to an end.
However, the Colombian team remains in second place in the table, thanks to the fact that Uruguay also lost the previous day against Peru, and the gap with Argentina, which drew in Venezuela, is only three points.
The Colombia vs Chile match will be played at the Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez, located in the city of Barranquilla, in the department of Atlántico, Colombia. This venue, inaugurated in 1986, has a capacity for 46,692 spectators.
