"Every match is a different scenario. (Against Venezuela) we were not precise with the ball, we did not circulate well; against Chile it will be different, they will go more on the attack and we will find more spaces, but getting the movements and precision right will be the key to have the improvement we had in the second half."

"It stood out a lot. In these matches we have been able to adapt to different systems and opponents. We have had flexibility, in the same match we have had to modify, it speaks of intelligence, beyond the plan, they have been able to absorb the information and be able to take complex matches forward. Tomorrow they will start in a certain way, but they will change and we will have to adapt".

"We have tried to consolidate a group and it is difficult to guarantee that the same eleven will repeat, it depends on many aspects. There are small details that can make us change a player or not. Regardless of whether he played well. Sometimes it is thought that the changes are because of how the player played, and sometimes it is because of the opponent's characteristics. There won't be big changes. We will decide the details until the last minute.

"No, we want to go to every stadium to propose. You will hardly see a team stuck in the back waiting for what the opponent does. We have the capacity to adapt to the rhythm of the match. If we have to retreat and defend, we will do it. But our vision is to go and fight in the opponent's field".

"In a complex qualifying round like this one, the important thing is to have a clear objective, to keep working, to keep our minds focused. Uruguay has already passed. We have an important match this Tuesday, we play at home and we will try to win it, as we do every match. We will think about a match where we have to take possession of the ball and play it with intelligence."

"Colombia is an opponent that plays well and has very fast wing players. They have players who have a one-on-one advantage on the flanks and who also play very well. We will press and try to stop our opponent from playing".

"We will try to use the ball well and build better attacks than we did in the first match against Uruguay. In a Qualifying Round like this one, you can lose matches and that doesn't mean you have to lose strength to reach the end alive".

In Colombia, the presence of Rafael Santos Borré stands out. The 27-year-old striker is looking to get back to his best level and show his best version again, after the goal he scored in the first matchday, which brings him confidence again to have a great streak like the one he had a few seasons ago.

In Chile, the presence of Arturo Vidal stands out.The presence of Arturo Vidal stands out in Chile. The 36-year-old midfielder continues to contribute his experience to the Chilean national team. It is clear that this is possibly his last qualification and that is why it is necessary for the team to take advantage of all his experience to continue looking for a return to the top of the continent and participation in a World Cup.

These two teams have met 43 times. The statistics are in favor of Chile, which has emerged victorious on 16 occasions, while Colombia has won on 11 occasions, leaving a balance of 16 draws.

In the World Cup Qualifiers...

Referring only to the times they have faced each other in the South American qualifiers, we count 16 duels, where the numbers are in favor of Colombia with six victories, while Chile has won four, for a balance of six draws.

If we take into account the number of times Chile has been at home against Colombia in the South American qualifiers, there are eight matches, where the Australians have the advantage with three wins over the two that the Cafeteros have won, and the three ties that have occurred.

Colombia won in its first game of the qualifiers against Venezuela. One goal was enough for the team coached by Néstor Lorenzo to earn their first points in the table. Now, for the Colombian team, a match with many demands is coming, although they remember that in the last two occasions they visited this rival, they had positive results.

Chile did not start its participation in the qualifiers in a good way, as it was beaten by Uruguay in a convincing manner. For the team coached by Eduardo Berizzo, a victory is mandatory, as they cannot give up any point at home, especially after the bad start.

The Chile vs Colombia match will be played at the Monumental Stadium, located in the Macul district in the city of Santiago, Chile. This stadium, inaugurated in 1975, has a capacity for 47,347 spectators.
