Following their off day in Matchday 1, Colombia starts their CONMEBOL World Cup 2014 qualifying campaign away to Bolivia, in La Paz. Bolivia lost their opening fixture of qualifying against Uruguay, but are always formidable at home. Colombia manager Leonel Alvarez isn't convinced, as he's decided not to risk his superstar Radamel Falcao. Teofilo Gutierrez will start up top, with Mexican Primera duo Jackson Martinez and Dayro Moreno left out as well. Here are the lineups.
Colombia lineup (4-5-1): Ospina; Zuñiga , Mosquera, Perea, Armero; Sánchez, Rodríguez, Aguilar, Guarín, Pabón; Gutiérrez
Bolivia lineup (4-4-2): Vaca; Álvarez, Raldes, Rivero, Gutiérrez; Robles, Flores, Cardozo, Escobar; Arce, Martins
Colombia's lineup is a very attacking one that could very easily morph into more of a 4-3-3 with James Rodriguez and Dorlan Pabon playing high up the pitch. James and Fredy Guarin will be their team's key creative outlets. Bolivia will rely heavily on Shakhtar Donetsk striker Marcelo Martins.
The game kicks off at 4:00 pm ET.
