There are no weak brigades in South America. In this World Preliminary Tournament, Brazil and Argentina have already qualified early, and Ecuador, which ranks third with 25 points, has basically qualified. There are still 1.5 qualifying places, which are most likely to be produced in Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Colombia four teams, it should be said that Uruguay is currently in the best situation, it is likely to advance to the first round, and Chile is the most dangerous, it is likely to miss the World Cup for two consecutive years.
The reason why Chile is the most dangerous is because in the penultimate round of the South American World Preliminary Tournament held in the early morning of March 25 (Friday) Beijing time, Chile is away to Brazil, it is very likely to lose, so Chile still maintains 19 points, and can only get 22 points at most, and usually, 22 points can not enter the top 5 in South America. In the last World Preliminary Tournament, Chile lost the right to qualify for the World Cup in the last round of the fiasco to Brazil; in this World Preliminary Tournament, Chile was fierce and unlucky.
Of course, the most significant six-point battle on Friday, when Uruguay hosts Peru, if Uruguay wins, the points will reach 25 points, as long as Brazil does not lose to Chile, Uruguay will be with Ecuador in the early round of the World Cup, and Peru can only compete for 5th place in South America.
Although Colombia currently only has 17 points, but On Friday Colombia is home to meet Bolivia, which has been basically out, the high probability is to get 3 points, if Chile loses to Brazil, Peru loses Uruguay, then before the last round of the game, Peru accumulates 21 points, Colombia accumulates 20 points, Chile accumulates 19 points, and the last round will be the 3 teams competing for 0.5 places.
From the perspective of the opponent, Chile is home to Uruguay, may not have a chance to win, and if it does not win, it will definitely be out. Colombia's away win over Venezuela is somewhat certain, but Peru is at home to face Paraguay, which has long been out, and as long as Peru wins, it will secure the 5th place in South America. Coincidentally, in the last South American World Preliminary Tournament, Peru was the 5th place in South America, and in the intercontinental play-offs, Peru eliminated New Zealand and advanced to the World Cup in Russia. In this World Preliminary Round, Peru is most likely to be the 5th place in South America.
Combined, Ecuador and Uruguay are likely to qualify directly to the World Cup, while Peru is likely to qualify for the play-offs. Of course, South American matches are usually not easy to predict the outcome, and ecuador theoretically has the possibility of winning 5th place, while Chile may also directly advance to or win 5th place if it wins two consecutive games, all depending not only on their own determination, but also on the attitude of their opponents. The South American World Preliminary Tournament is well worth watching for Chinese fans, although Chinese football officials and the media do not pay much attention to it.
