Chile will play Colombia on Thursday night in a CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying match up. This should be a hugely competitive encounter that could have big implications on who qualifiers for Russia 2018. The game has a scheduled start time of 6.30 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream via the link below.

Colombia will be desperate to get back to winning ways tonight, and they have star player James Rodriguez back, which should be a massive boost to the entire team.

Colombia got their World Cup qualifying campaign off to the perfect start last month with a win over Peru, however, they put on a hugely lackluster performance in their second game against Uruguay and came away with a 3-0 thrashing.

James was unable to play in both those games as he has been out with a thigh injury, but he has now worked his way back to full fitness and should be in line to play tonight against Chile, as well as their upcoming game against Argentina.

The Real Madrid player made his comeback performance for the Spanish giants last week, and he scored, coming off the bench but was unable to stop his team losing 3-2 to Sevilla.

Colombia midfielder Fredy Guarin has said, "We are going to confront Chile with power and determination. [We will] be aggressive, mentally strong and try to press at every moment of the game. It will be important for us to have [possession of] the ball and be focused when chances come."

However, Colombia's task will be a tough one. They come up against a Chile team that has not lost in 10 games and recently stunned everyone by winning the Copa America tournament.

Chile have defeated Brazil and Peru in their opening two qualifying games, scoring an impressive six goals in the process. Whether they can continue that excellent run tonight against Colombia remains to be seen.
