*Los Cafeteros head to the game with two key straight draws, against Uruguay and Brazil, rescuing 2 difficult points, keeping their 5th place, with 15 points, after 3 victories, 6 draws and 2 defeats, netting 16 times so far while conceding as many. *Meanwhile, the Ecuadorian side lost 2-1 in their visit to Venezuela on Sunday, following a 3-0 win the prior round, facing a very weak Bolivia though. *Ecuador sit 3rd with 16 points, following 5 wins, 1 draw, 5 defeats, (although 4 of those 5 defeats were away), scoring 20 goals in the run while allowing 13. *There has been a clear Colombian dominance recently, winning 5 of the last 6 encounters, while only losing once. *With the risk of losing their chance of going to Qatar next year, the hosts must take advantage of playing at the Estadio Metropolitano and beat a recently sluggish Ecuador, and with Cuadrado, Diaz and Zapata in the final third, it doesn’t seem that unlikely. Prediction: Colombia -0.5, -1.0
