The Venezuela vs Colombia live stream represents a chance for La Vinotinto to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for a first World Cup. Sat seventh before the final round of Conmebol qualifying, Venezuela must win to guarantee a spot in the intercontinental playoff but if they drop points to the already-qualified Cafeteros, they leave the door ajar for Bolivia to catch them elsewhere.

You can watch Venezuela vs Colombia live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.

Venezuela may never have a better shot at reaching the World Cup finals as this. Though automatic qualification is now beyond them after the 3-0 defeat by Argentina last week, Fernando Batista knows his side can still guarantee the Conmebol spot in the six-team intercontinental playoffs next March with a win. A draw or loss, coupled with an admittedly unlikely win for Bolivia in Brazil, means La Vinotinto would be out. They have the country's all-time most capped player and top scorer – Tomas Rincon and Salomon Rondon respectively – among their number and will look for a morale-boosting win.

Colombia, meanwhile, are already sure of a spot in next summer's finals and depending on how results go, could finish anywhere between second and sixth in the standings, such has been the even nature of qualifying (Argentina excepted). Captain James Rodriguez, Jhon Cordoba and Juan Quintero scored in a 3-0 victory over Bolivia last time out, while it was Los Cafeteros who won the reverse fixture nearly two years ago thanks to Rafael Borre's strike.

Here's how to watch Venezuela vs Colombia live streams from anywhere in the world, and potentially for free.
