Paraguay and Colombia are two points apart in the South America standings for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers ahead of their meeting. Paraguay, the hosts here, have seven points, in sixth place while Colombia are fifth with nine points. Fifth is the cutoff for qualification and Paraguay just failed to take advantage on Match Day 7 after the two teams ahead of them dropped points. They are coming from a 2-0 loss to Ecuador, that being the third game in five without scoring and the manner of the loss will really disappoint them, having conceded both goals in the final two minutes.. In the last five matches, they have just one clean sheet, three outright losses in five and one loss on post match penalties. Paraguay are winless in the last five World Cup qualification matches, and have failed to score in the last three. At home, they are winless in five World Cup qualification matches, losing three and in four of those, they conceded two goals in each. They have no clean sheet in five home matches in the qualifiers and both sides have scored in three.

Colombia are coming from a 1-1 draw with Bolivia, a result that they too, will be disappointed in and especially the fact that they conceded with seven minutes only remaining. They will consider it two points dropped in that game. That result left Colombia with just a win in their last five matches and they have one clean sheet only in the last five games. They are unbeaten in three World Cup qualification matches ahead of this one, with two draws and a win in them. Colombia have scored two goals in two of their last three matches in World Cup qualifiers and conceded two or more in three of the last five. Both teams have scored in four of their last five away World Cup qualification matches.
