Colombia and Venezuela will contest a World Cup 2018 Qualifier on Thursday.

Both sides are currently on opposite sides of the spectrum six rounds into qualifiers. Colombia sits in a dogfight for the final qualifying spot with 10 points. Colombia has three wins, one draw and two defeats thus far, giving them 10 points and a tie with Chile for fourth place in the CONMEBOL. However, Colombia is just three points out of first place but also one point ahead of the sixth and seventh place sides.

Meanwhile, Venezuela looks out of the race early on. The team has just one point through six rounds, accumulating one draw and five defeats. More problematic of all is that Venezuela has conceded 17 goals already while scoring seven. The team did show some improvement in the recent Copa America, managing to get out of its group before succumbing to Argentina in the first knockout round.

Prediction

Colombia continues its ascension in the CONMEBOL while Venezuela continues its struggles in a 2-0 loss at Barranquilla.

Start Time, Date, Location

Colombia and Venezuela kick off at 4:30 p.m EDT on Thursday in Barranquilla, Colombia.
