Lone confederation

After the opening match from Oceania few days ago, World Cup qualifiers resumes tonight and in the morning with one of the most interesting region this November. Unfortunately, the last four games are playing almost at the same time (with minutes difference) and there is no doubt which pair will be watched closely (and with much attention throughout the world).

- Colombia - Chile. Unlike Copa America this summer (where they won the title), Chile is playing with completely different face in the qualifiers. With plenty of stars they look like an uninterested team, unrecognizable play and is like they fear to play in away matches for three points. Since their last qualifier passed almost a month and its enough days to raise the level of the players, but if they continue like this La Roja could struggle even to qualify for the finals. Visitors' weakness is Colombia chance to write another victory in this campaign. Although Los Cafeteros did not beat tonight's rival for quite a while only a wise play will earn them the victory.
- Uruguay - Ecuador. Second place Uruguay play third place Ecuador in the top table clash derby. Uruguay is almost unbeatable at home and their rival is a difficult team to beat. If anyone expect to win, lots of sweating will be necessary this morning, we expect plenty of goals in this one, maybe it will be nervy game at some point, but no one will get the full prey.
- Paraguay - Peru. These two are the last teams who can reach the finals (even the fifth play off place). Paraguay is in a better position at the moment and with a win this morning, they will be on solid course to Russia. Their opponents Peru are struggling on away games to record a win and they are achieving only a (hard fought) draw. Los Incas really do not have a strength to do something more, the hosts knows that and that is why Paraguay is a little bit closer to win, with small goal difference.
- Venezuela - Bolivia. Unlike Uruguay - Ecuador, this match is quite the opposite. These two practically lost their chances for the finals and that is why this game is called a bottom clash derby. With identical scores, Venezuela is always dangerous at home but Bolivia may easily return in the game. As lots of mistakes are made on both sides, the hosts might take full points easily. However, you cannot underestimate Bolivia and the only result in this match is a draw.
- Brazil - Argentina. Everything is said for this game and everything is known, we just have to sit back and enjoy the show. Brazil seems to be unbeatable at home, but Argentina will not give up that easily. Knowing that this is the match to win Los Gauchos will stay on the leading group and a failure it will be a disaster for them. That is how they want to end their fierce rival's confidence at home and (maybe or surprisingly) steal the victory. On the other hand, the Brazilians are too powerful and it seems no one dare to stop them. On their previous meetings there are only victories for the hosts, this morning looks like Argentina will succeed to 'break that spell', however everyone will be happy on sharing the points.
