Match Preview
Venezuela are one of the biggest underperformers in the South American World Cup 2027 qualifiers and they need to win this match by at least three points to reach the next stage. Colombia are playing in front of the home crowd in Cali.
Venezuela Facing a Must-Win Challenge
Venezuela enter this decisive qualifier needing a victory to keep their World Cup hopes alive after a disappointing campaign that has left them bottom of Group C with a 1-4 record.
They opened the qualifiers with consecutive defeats to Colombia (80-78) and Brazil (94-84), while their only victory came in early May when they defeated Chile 72-68. Yeferson Guerra starred in that contest with 16 points, six rebounds and two assists after hitting several crucial shots in the second half.
However, Venezuela failed to build on that success, suffering defeats to Brazil (103-88) and, most recently, Chile (78-66) on a neutral court in Cali.
Colombia Looking to Finish the Job at Home
Colombia have enjoyed a slightly stronger qualifying campaign, winning two of their five matches to occupy third place in Group C.
Those victories came in the opening two rounds against Venezuela (80-78) and Chile (86-78), before they suffered an expected heavy 101-72 defeat to Brazil.
The Colombians missed a golden opportunity to strengthen their qualification hopes in the fourth round, blowing a fourth-quarter lead to lose 81-79 at home to Chile. Two days ago, they were comfortably beaten again by Brazil, this time 104-80.
Verdict
With qualification on the line for both teams, this is likely to be a tense and physical contest rather than an open, high-scoring affair. Under 155.5 points stands out as the strongest betting option.
