Team news & rosters
| Position | Venezuela roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Farinez, Romo, Graterol |
| Defenders | Rosales, Hernandez, Chancellor, Mago, Ferraresi, O. Gonzalez, La Mantia, Mejias, Makoun, Navarro |
| Midfielders | Rincon, Otero, Machis, Murillo, Soteldo, Savarino, Herrera, Casseres, Jose Martinez, L. Gonzalez, Chacon, Segovia |

This has been a rough window for Venezuela, with three wins in 17 qualifying matches. La Vinotinto sits last in the CONMEBOL standings right now. While Venezuela has never made a World Cup, its results over the last two qualifying cycles have found the team struggling more than usual.
Salomon Rondon leads the team in goals during this qualification cycle with four. The Everton striker is the country’s all-time leading goalscorer.
While there is some talent on this team like Lens goalkeeper Wuilker Farinez, and team captain and Sampdoria midfielder Tomas Rincon, the Venezuelan side has been unable to put much together lately.
Projected Venezuela starting XI: Chancellor, Makoun, Ferraresi, Navarro, Rosales, Herrera, Casseres, Martínez, Martinez, Rondon; Farinez
| Position | Colombia roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Ospina, Vargas, Montero |
| Defenders | Medina, Cuesta, Tesillo, Fabra, Munoz, Sanchez, Lucumi, Mojica |
| Midfielders | Cantillo, Barrios, Cuellar, Rodriguez, Moreno, Uribe, Lerma, Quintero |
| Forwards | Borre, Muriel, Diaz, Sinisterra, Borja, Preciado, Suarez |
Colombia enters this game in sixth. The team currently has an edge in goal differential over Peru, the fifth-place team. Los Cafeteros is so close to getting to the inter-confederation playoff, which would give it a chance to qualify for its third World Cup in a row.
In four matches in 2022, Colombia has two wins and two losses. The majority of its 2021 contests ended in draws.
Miguel Borja’s four goals in this competition lead the Colombian team. He’s only started in four of the team’s World Cup qualifying matches, though.
Projected Colombia starting XI: Tesillo, Cuesta, Fabra, Munoz, Cuellar, Rodriguez, Cuadrado, Muriel, Diaz, Sinisterra; Ospina
