The Qualifiers will begin to enter the final straight, the triple date will come to an end next Thursday. But with the road to be resumed in November, which will have a double shift, which may be decisive for the aspirations of several. In the leaderboard there are two teams that can be calm, Brazil and Argentina, each with 28 and 22 units respectively. The canarinha already has more than one foot in Qatar, the albiceleste will have to confirm its place.
Therefore, there will be only two direct quotas and one for repechage, which for now, is for Colombia. Ecuador and Uruguay are in contention, each with 16 units. The fight will get increasingly close, so the teams must aspire to score as many points as possible.
And it is that on the way to the world championships, the trend of a range between 24 and 28 points has been marked, to define who will stay with the quotas. The first two already distance themselves, it will depend on whether they add more points, subtracting the others and eventually tightening the matter more.
The lowest score to stay with the playoff spot was for 2010, with 24 points, which was for Uruguay. While in 2002 the celestial obtained it, but with 27. To stay with the fourth direct place to the World Cup, the minimum was 25 units in 1998, for Chile, in 2002, Paraguay reached the threshold of 30 units.
Colombia managed to reach 30 points in 2014, while in 2018 it remained with 27 points in fourth place to reach Russia. In that order of ideas, the applicants for third, fourth and fifth place, must reach the threshold of 27-28 points to enter directly to Qatar, it may be less for the playoffs. It may even go down, depending on how the results are given, an eventual rebound of those below or a slight fall of those above.
