Los Cafeteros impressed at Copa America and have carried that form into CONMEBOL qualifying, winning five and drawing four of their 11 matches. They go into the latest set of fixtures third in the table but did suffer their second defeat of the campaign at the weekend, losing 3-2 to Uruguay in highly dramatic fashion.

The visitors picked up a great 4-0 win against Bolivia last time out, pushing them up to fifth in the table. That means they are in the qualification spots and just three points behind their opponents. Gonazalo Plata netted twice in that game. With Paraguay in sixth facing a tricky trip to Bolivia, this game will have a real impact on who makes it through to next year’s World Cup.
