Analysis and forecast for the match on the 2nd day of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup Chile – Colombia (09/13/2023)
Club football took a break, giving way to national team matches. While selection for the 2024 Euro Cup takes place in Europe, qualification for the 2026 World Cup is gaining momentum in South America. Four second round matches will be played on September 13. In one of them, the Chilean team will host Colombia. The starting whistle will sound at 3:30 Moscow time.

According to the results of the qualifying tournament for the World Cup in Qatar, the Chilean team took only seventh place in the standings, four points behind Colombia. In 18 games they won five times and drew four times. He scored most of his points in games with underdogs.
After this, Martín Lasarte was dismissed. The new coach of the red team is Eduardo Berizzo, who previously worked for several years as coach of Paraguay. The transformed Chileans spent their training camp quite well. They beat Paraguay (3-2), Cuba (3-0) and the Dominican Republic (5-0). We tied with Bolivia (0-0) away from home.
However, friendly matches are one thing and official matches are quite another. In the match of the first round of qualification for the 2026 World Cup, the “red team” lost to Uruguay (1-3). They were saved from a crushing defeat by a goal from Arturo Vidal, 36 years old. He scored into an empty goal after a lucky rebound off the crossbar.
Vidal moved from Flamengo to Atlético Paranaense this summer. After the transition, he called the red and black coach Jorge Sampaoli a loser who does not know how to value the players. The mentor called the criticism directed at him undeserved. He highlighted that the Chilean had chances, but lost his place in the starting eleven after his rivals added.

With age, Vidal really slowed down a lot. However, he remains one of the most important players of the national team. The point is that Chile simply does not have an equivalent replacement for Arturo. The new generation is not as technical and talented. That is why the “red team” failed to reach the final round of the World Cup in Qatar.
Colombia also failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. However, he was just one point away from fifth place. In 18 games he suffered five defeats. There were many ties, up to eight.
After this, the Colombians experienced a change of coach. The position was occupied by the experienced Néstor Lorenzo, who was previously on the coaching staff of the Colombian national team, from 2012 to 2019. Then, the team led by José Pekerman reached the quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the round of 16. in Russia.
Lorenzo’s appointment greatly encouraged Colombians. He has not lost any of his last five friendly matches. They tied with the United States (0-0) and South Korea (2-2). First we beat Japan (2-1) and Iraq (1-0), and then the German team, which was essentially the main team (2-0).
Colombia began qualifying for the 2026 World Cup with a 1:0 victory over Venezuela. Two RPL players participated in the match: Jorge Carrascal and Vilmar Barrios. Two more remained in reserve: Matteo Cassierra, who heads the table of top scorers of the Russian Championship, and John Córdoba.
However, this decision by the coach was due to the fact that the rival was a clear outsider. According to the results of the qualifying tournament for the 2022 World Cup, Venezuela occupied the last place in the classification. Barrios played only five minutes of regulation time in the match with her, and the leader of the national team, James Rodríguez, played 15.
Mbappé will not forgive the Germans:

I think they will have more playing time in the next game. There is every reason to believe that Lorenzo’s competent rotation will continue to pay off. You can bet that the Colombian team will not lose and the total will be less than 3.5 goals in betting houses with odds of 1.77.
Only in one of the last nine direct confrontations did the Colombians fall in regulation time: in the semifinals of the Copa América. And still, perhaps we could have tied the score if it hadn’t been for the expulsion in the 57th minute. They also lost once in the penalty shootout in the Copa América.
Most of these meetings were inconclusive. In 18 qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup, the “red team” scored 19 goals and conceded 26. The Colombians scored 20 goals during this period of time and only conceded 19.
Prediction and bets for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers match Chile – Colombia September 13, 2023
Even though the match will take place in Chile, there is more faith in Colombia’s victory. It has better results in distance, as well as squad depth. Furthermore, Colombians were encouraged by the appointment of the experienced Néstor Lorenzo. The “red team” leaders have noticeably aged and slowed down, and the younger generation is not as talented. The last nine direct confrontations and the statistics indicate an inconclusive victory for the Colombians. We think this bet will work this time too.
Tender: Colombia will not lose and the total will be less than 3.5 goals for 1.77.
