At home is the key to the classification and Colombia, against Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Bolivia, in Barranquilla can only add three.

Any other result will complicate the road and it will be necessary to go out to look for a visitor a classification that can be achieved, with relative ease, at home.

The accounts are clear: in the last two World Cups, Colombia classified the event with a margin that was between 27 and 30 points.

For Brazil 2014, the national team passed second, after Argentina, adding a total of 30 units, while for Russia it entered fourth, with three units less.

With the calculator in hand, taking into account the 15 points that Reinaldo Rueda's team currently has, and adding the 12 that remain at home, the Tricolor it would reach 27 points again.

In theory, that would suffice. Above all, taking into consideration that in the last world classifications the classification margin has fluctuated with a downward trend, but it has never risen from 26, the highest limit of the qualifying rounds to the last five world championships.

For example, Uruguay played the playoffs at the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, after scoring just 24 points. That year, Colombia was left out with 23.

Now, the narrowness in the table, with nine teams out of 10 possible that still have chances, allows us to project a classification not as high as that of Russia 2018, in which Peru entered the play-off in fifth place with 26 units.

Everything will depend, however, on Brazil and Argentina, the leaders of the classification, since if both teams continue with their overwhelming rhythm, for calendar reasons, it will be very difficult for the selections at the bottom of the table, such as Peru and Paraguay to even Chile, they can put in trouble to the teams that are in the privileged positions.

Hence the importance of Colombia's point last Sunday and also of the games that remain at home for the Rueda team. Fixture "Friendly" who do not have other teams that are in the fight.

Thus, the national team depends exclusively on itself to begin to direct the task and, therefore, beating Ecuador next Thursday should be a practically mandatory task.
