Venezuela still has a glimmer of hope in the World Cup qualifiers as they prepare to host Colombia on Tuesday, with a spot in the inter-confederation playoffs on the line.
La Vinotinto saw their direct qualification dreams crushed in their last outing, falling to world champions Argentina, a result that kept them stranded in seventh place. Back on home soil, Fernando Batista’s side will try to regroup quickly, with key names back in contention.
Colombia, meanwhile, has already punched its ticket to the World Cup after brushing aside Bolivia with ease in their previous qualifier.

Venezuela team news
José Martínez has served his suspension, though injury concerns may keep him sidelined, while Telasco Segovia is once again available. Jorge Yriarte and Yeferson Soteldo, who both made lively cameos off the bench last time out, are pushing for a place in the starting XI.
Up front, veteran striker Salomón Rondón, already Venezuela’s record scorer with 47 goals, will once again lead the line in search of more history.
Colombia team news
Néstor Lorenzo’s men travel with confidence, boosted by the return of Daniel Muñoz of Crystal Palace and River Plate’s Kevin Castaño, both back from suspension. The absences of Cucho Hernández and Jhon Durán open the door for Córdoba to keep his spot in attack.
And, of course, Liverpool star Luis Díaz remains the key man; his five goals in his last 10 internationals underline just how crucial he is to Los Cafeteros’ frontline.
