Preview
Colombia come into this after a 1-0 loss over Argentina in their previous Qualifier clash in February as Martinez scored the goal which made the difference.
This was Colombia’s successive and their campaign’s 5th loss as they were left reeling in 7th place on the group table with 17 points.
Another loss could end their slim chances of qualification due to which they have to win their remaining matches in order to avoid the drop.
On the other hand, Bolivia lost 3-2 at home to Chile in their previous Qualifier match last month.
Sanchez broke the deadlock for the visitors before Enoumba equalized. However, late goals from Nunez and Sanchez gave the Chile side a 3-1 lead and significant breathing space. Moreno pulled one back for the hosts 2 minutes from time but could not change the result
This was the 9th loss of the campaign for Bolivia leaving them in 8th place with 15 points.
Bolivia is on their way out out due to their negative goal difference.
Both sides last met in the Qualifiers in September, where it finished 1-1 in Bolivia.

Colombia is the side in need of the result and with home support, we expect them to win this one.
The visitors have no form to back them up despite scoring twice last time. The lack of confidence and zeal is visible.
