Qualifiers: Colombia-Bolivia What has to happen for Colombia to qualify for the World Cup?

Colombia is prohibited from failing against Bolivia 3:16 (CNN Spanish) — The Colombian soccer team, which came to the duel with Peru in Barranquilla more benefited by the results of its rivals than by its own merit and in the qualifying zone, lost in home and greatly complicated his arrival at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Now, with more fears than convictions, he faces Bolivia this Thursday in Barranquilla. What has to happen for Colombia to qualify for Qatar? It no longer depends only on Reinaldo Rueda’s team. Currently, Colombia is in seventh place in the Conmebol qualifying table with 17 points. What is most striking is that they have the same number of wins as the last place, Venezuela, with only three wins. The Colombians have drawn eight times and lost five games. They have a goal difference of -3, a better margin than Peru, which is now fifth, which has -4, and Uruguay, fourth, with -3. The problem is that Colombia has not scored a goal for more than 556 minutes and thus does not qualify for any World Cup. Colombia must do their homework, not let go of points, and wait for the other results to favor them. If he wins the remaining games (against Bolivia and Venezuela), he would be left with 23 points. The eyes of the Colombians are set on Uruguay, Peru and Chile, the direct rivals. The confrontation between Uruguay and Peru should end in a draw so that they do not add key points that would leave Colombia in checkmate. It would be convenient for Colombia, for example, if Peru tied with Uruguay and lost with Paraguay. In this way Peru would be left with 22 points. In turn, it would be useful for Colombians if Uruguay tied with Peru and Chile. Uruguay would be left with 24 points. Chile, counting the draw with Uruguay, should also lose to Brazil to benefit the coffee growers. Thus, Chile would be left with 20 points. Bolivia, which would lose to Colombia, could even beat Brazil (an unlikely scenario) and end up with 19 points and not be a threat to Colombia. All this, of course, under the assumption that Colombia wins both games.
