Colombia – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Coffee Growers” did not qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, after successful performances in 2014 and 2018. Still, now they are doing a lot. The team made a successful start in the new qualifying round, recording 3 wins (including a 2-1 score in the home battle against Brazil) and draws, in the autumn. And it always won in friendly matches (starting from the December 3-2 in the game with Mexico to the confrontation with Bolivia last week).
Paraguay – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Guarani” have faded into the shadows of South American football in recent years. And it’s unlikely that anything will change now. Speaking about the autumn part of the qualification, the team managed to win only once – that happened in the home battle against traditionally very weak Bolivia – 1-0. On the other hand, there were goalless draws with Peru and Chile.
Daniel Garnero’s wards started 2024 no better. There were a 0-0 draw with the Peruvians and a 0-3 misfire with the Chileans. And the team finally managed to take a victory only on the eve of the start of the Copa America. Thanks to Velasquez’s only goal, which was scored in the middle of the first half, it won the battle against Panama. Still, it is worth noting that more difficult opponents are ahead.
