Colombia preview: Hoping to put loss to Bolivia to bed
After eight games without a loss in these WC Qualifiers, Colombia succumbed to Bolivia a few days ago, losing 1-0 away from home. Despite this loss, they remain second in the standings at the moment and they are still in a great position to qualify for the upcoming World Cup, as long as their form doesn't fall off the cliff.
Meanwhile, Roger Martinez got injured in the last match against Bolivia and he will likely miss this one.
Predicted lineup: Vargas (GK), S. Arias, Mina, Lucumi, Borja, Uribe, Lerma, Rios, James, Duran & Diaz

Chile preview: Hoping for their first win of the qualifiers
With five points from nine games in the WC Qualifiers, Chile have been struggling and they sit at the very bottom of the group at this time. There is still a lot of football left to be played before the end of this qualifying cycle, but Chile's chances of making it to the World Cup are pretty low considering their poor performances so far.
Chile are also missing a few important players through injuries, including Alexis Sanchez, Matias Catalan, and Vicente Pizarro.
Predicted lineup: Cortes (GK), Loyola, Kuscevic, Maripan, Galdames, Valdes, Pavez, Echeverria, Osorio, Davila & Vargas
