By the time the two rounds of November matches are complete, there will only be four left to play in South American qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The first tickets to Qatar could even be booked by next week.
The scrap for the other berths awarded to 3rd through 5th place (5th place earns a spot in a playoff) will be intense with some fascinating head-to-head matchups in November. While Colombia (4th, 16 points) and Uruguay (5th, 16 points) have their work cut out for them to take points off Brazil and Argentina, respectively, Ecuador (3rd, 17 points) will be expected to cement its third-place spot against last-place Venezuela.
The four teams behind that group will do battle to see which country can still keep dreaming of a World Cup berth. Paraguay (8th, 12 points) has a must-win at home against Chile (6th, 13 points), while the faint hopes of Peru (9th, 11 points) could be all but extinguished without a home win against Bolivia (7th, 12 points).
