Los Cafeteros have impressed in this CONMEBOL qualifying campaign, winning five and drawing four of their 11 matches. They start today third in the table, despite falling to defeat at the weekend. Uruguay won 3-2 in highly dramatic fashion and Néstor Lorenzo's side will look to bounce back to stay near the top of the qualification rankings.

The visitors, meanwhile, beat Bolivia 4-0 last time out, with Gonazalo Plata netting twice. That victory pushed them into the qualification spots. Indeed, these two sides will be separated by just three points at kick-off, emphasising how much this means. With Paraguay facing a tricky trip to Bolivia, this game will have a real impact on who makes it through to next year’s World Cup.
