Currently in the CONEMBOL, Chile is currently in fourth place in the table, which is good enough for a World Cup berth if they were given out today. Unfortunately there are still more games to be played.
Venezuela is just barely on the outside looking in. At 16 points they’re sitting in 6th place. Fifth place Uruguay also has 16 points but is ahead of them on goal differential.
Unfortunately for Venezuela, Chile has dominated them in the past few matches. Going back to June of 2005, Chile has won 4 games while Venezuela has won 1 game. The one game that Venezuela did win was in a Copa America match. Chile has also won 3 out of the last 4 World Cup qualifying games, the fourth game was a draw.
