The presence of Salomón Rondón stands out in Venezuela. The 32-year-old player, who currently plays for Everton in England, is the team's top scorer in the current edition of the South American qualifiers with four goals.

Luis Diaz has been a worldwide sensation at his club, Liverpool, managed by Jürgen Klopp. For Colombia, Diaz means the renewal of a dream and is the Cafetero hope that clings to the tricolor national team on the road to the World Cup in Qatar 2022. The Barrancas-born player made his debut in the senior national team in 2018 and since then, he has played a total of 31 games, in which he has scored eight goals.

It seems incredible, but Colombia still has a small chance to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar 2022. The Colombian national team has just beaten Bolivia 3-0 and now must beat Venezuela and hope that Peru does not beat Paraguay, only then will they qualify for the World Cup playoff. It will be complicated, but the team coached by Reinaldo Rueda is confident of victory.

Venezuela has nothing to lose. The team coached by José Néstor Pékerman is at the bottom of the standings with no chance of reaching the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. For Venezuela, defeating and eliminating Colombia would mean a lot, as they consider this match of great importance and it is their moment to shine after a qualifying phase to forget.

Cachamay Stadium is a sports venue located in Puerto Ordaz, Ciudad Guayana, Bolívar state, Venezuela. It was inaugurated in 1990 and remodeled in 2007 to host that year's America's Cup. It has a capacity of 41,600 spectators.
