A crucial round of Qualifying for the Colombian National Team is approaching, thinking about the Qatar 2022 World Cup. There will be three duels that could have great influence thinking about the classification.
Both Uruguay and Ecuador are direct rivals, which is why defeating them would be a sure shot towards the world championship; With Brazil, getting a positive result would give great confidence to the group and the process in general, Reinaldo Rueda.
Precisely on the above, in FUTBOLRED we count the score that the Tricolor had in the Qualifiers towards Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018 after 11 days to know how much the team should get in these games that are coming to maintain the classification line.
At the moment, Colombia is fifth in the standings, that is to say that for now it would go to playoffs to define its participation or not in Qatar. Add 13 units in nine games.
With the same number of duels for 2014, the team led by José Néstor Pékerman at that time had 16 points, the same score as the one for 2018. In other words, Rueda’s team is currently three points below the average.
Moving the comparison to 11 games played (which the National Team will have once the triple date is coming to an end), there were 19 units heading to Brazil and 18 heading to Russia.
In this order of ideas, to recover the average that allows to dream of Qatar, the national team will have to score 5-6 points. Two scenarios then arise: win a confrontation and tie the other two (5); win two and lose one (6).
Of course, an extraordinary performance would be to win two and tie one (7) or directly win all three (9).
