The Colombian National Team will face Venezuela in the last match of the South American Qualifiers, and if they win this match, they would have to wait for Peru not to achieve a victory against Paraguay, because they would secure their place in the playoff for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

But ahead of the match against the 'Vinotinto', several Colombian journalists analyzed what this match will be, highlighting that their team should easily win because they have better players.
"It is normal for Colombia to beat Venezuela. We have double the score and Colombia's most crucial match was in the first round in Barranquilla when we annihilated them. We have better players than them. In statistics, we also beat them. Saying that Colombia will beat Venezuela on Tuesday is the most normal thing," said Andrés Morocco on ESPN Colombia.
However, several of his colleagues began to say that all those arguments that have been mentioned have already been heard before with Paraguay, Ecuador, and Peru, teams that they failed to defeat. "I've seen that superiority you're talking about with Paraguay, with Ecuador, I've heard it with Peru. What I'm saying is that we cannot underestimate Venezuela. We haven't scored a goal against them in over 20 years," the panelists mentioned.

Finally, the communicators at the table began to mention that Colombia cannot look down on Venezuela, since they have not been able to achieve victories as visitors since 1996. "This match is even, let's stop looking down on Venezuela because since 1996, we haven't beaten the Venezuelans on their home soil in the qualifiers. We have more than 20 years without defeating them on their home soil," they concluded.
