Colombians have one foot in Qatar 2022 but unfortunately in South America that doesn't mean much. They need to win every game to secure a spot in the top 4 standings.

Colombia are within the Top 4 of the standings at the 2022 FIFA World Cup Conmebol qualifiers, but other teams are close to the team with the same number of points. A loss could put Colombia out of the way to play in Qatar 2022. The rest of Colombia’s schedule is relatively easy for them.

Matchday 14 was a disappointment for Colombia as they were favorites to win at home against Paraguay, but the team ended up drawing the game 0-0. That draw came just after the team lost 1-0 on the road against Brazil.

The only big team that the Colombians have to face in the rest of their four games in the standings is Argentina, despite the fact that Argentina already has a guaranteed spot in Qatar 2022, that team is still a threat to Colombia.
