Preview
Chile picked up their third successive win when they beat Paraguay 1-0 away from home on Thursday.
Silva’s own goal was enough to secure the maximum points for the visitors which helped them climb to 4th in the table with 16 points from 13 matches.
They will need to keep the form going as Colombia are a place under them with the same points. Hence, dropping points with 5 matches to go may put them in danger territory.
On the other hand, Ecuador beat Venezuela 1-0 at home in their last match on Thursday.
Hincapie scored the only goal in the first half as Ecuador made it successive wins. This win kept Ecuador in a comfortable 3rd place with 20 points from 13 matches.
In the CONMEBOL Qualifiers, the top 4 gain automatic qualification to the World Cup finals whereas the 5th place progresses to the play-offs round.
Both sides last met in the Qualifiers in September, where it ended goalless.
