After amassing 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses, the visitors currently hold 6th place with 20 points. In their latest outing, they managed a 0-0 draw at home against Peru, following another draw (2-2) at home against Paraguay. Their most recent away fixture in this competition ended in defeat (2-1) against Brazil. In the last 7 away games for World Cup qualifiers in South America, Colombia has 1 win, 3 draws, and 3 losses.
Colombia has not achieved victory in their last 4 games away from home. Their defensive solidity has been a concern, conceding goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, although their attack remains relatively consistent, scoring in 7 of those games. When playing away, they tend to have fewer goals, with 7 of their last 14 matches finishing with less than 1.5 goals, and 10 out of 14 concluding with fewer than 2.5 goals. In 15 matches of this competition, they have only managed to turn the score around once in the 5 matches where they conceded first. Across their last 14 away games in all competitions, two time periods stand out: they scored 7 of their 18 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes, whilst conceding 5 of their 11 goals between the 46th and 60th minutes.
While Colombia works to regain their form after a disappointing spell, they’re currently level on points with Uruguay at 21, sitting in sixth position due to goal difference. The 0-0 stalemate with Peru extended their winless run to five matches. Nonetheless, Colombia possesses quality in their attacking line, having scored 18 goals in the tournament. Facing Argentina away is a significant challenge, yet they need to score to remain in contention for direct qualification.
