Ver esta publicación en Instagram Una publicación compartida de CONMEBOLtorneos (@conmeboltorneos) - Brasil vs. Colombia - Sede: Estadio Defensores del Chaco. Hora: 17:00h (hora de Paraguay) Árbitro: EDWIN ORDOÑEZ (PER) Antecedentes: Brasil viene de cuatro victorias seguidas en la CONMEBOL Sub-17. Contando desde 2009, la Canarinha tiene más rachas distintas de 4+ victorias (5) que todas las otras selecciones sumadas (4 - dos de Uruguay, una de Argentina y otra de Chile). Colombia es una de solo dos selecciones que le ganaron a Brasil más de una vez en CONMEBOL Sub-17 desde 2009 (2, mismo número de Argentina). Además, Colombia fue responsable por la mayor cantidad de minutos que Brasil estuvo perdiendo en un partido del torneo en las últimas tres ediciones (51' en la final de 2025, que la Canarinha ganó en la tanda de penales). Samuel Martínez (Colombia) es el jugador con mejor efectividad en regates en el CONMEBOL Sub17 2026 (59%, 10/17) entre los futbolistas que intentaron más de 15 acciones de este tipo en lo que va del torneo. Brasil es la selección que tuvo más ocasiones claras de gol en la CONMEBOL Sub-17 2026 (17). La diferencia de seis para con el escolta (Argentina, 11) es mayor que la de la Albiceleste para el séptimo equipo en este ranking (Uruguay, 6). - Ecuador vs. Argentina - Sede: Estadio Defensores del Chaco. Hora: 20:00h (hora de Paraguay) Árbitro: MATHIAS RIQUELME (CHI) Antecedentes: Argentina es la selección que más veces recuperó la pelota cerca del arco rival (últimos 40 metros de la cancha) en la CONMEBOL Sub-17 2026 (40, misma cantidad de Brasil). De hecho, la Albiceleste es el único equipo que anotó más de un gol tras una recuperación alta (2). Ecuador es la selección con mayor conversión de chances claras de gol en la CONMEBOL Sub-17 2026 (57% - 4/7). Argentina, por su vez, es la escolta en este ranking (55% - 6/11). Argentina es la selección con mejor colocación de sus remates al arco en la CONMEBOL Sub-17 2026. La Albiceleste acumula 5.96 goles esperados (xG) al momento del disparo, cifra que sube a 9.63 después del remate. El diferencial de +3.67 es el mayor del torneo. Ecuador viene en segundo lugar con +2.4. Ecuador es la selección contra la cual Argentina sostiene su menor porcentaje de puntos ganados en CONMEBOL Sub-17 desde, al menos, 2009 (21%, 8P 1V 2E 5D) - superando a Brasil y Uruguay (33%, 2V 2E 4D ante ambos). - Uruguay vs. Venezuela - Sede: Estadio Ameliano de Villeta. Hora: 17:00h (hora de Paraguay) Árbitro: JAIRO MAYORGA (COL) Antecedentes: Venezuela es la única selección ante la cual Uruguay no perdió ninguna vez en la CONMEBOL Sub-17, contando desde 2009 - aunque también sea la que menos enfrentó en este período (3P, 1V 2E). Tanto Uruguay (32.1) como Venezuela (35.6) figuran entre los cuatro equipos que menos necesitan de toques de balón para realizar un disparo en la CONMEBOL Sub-17 2026. Paraguay (23.6) y Brasil (30.4) completan la lista. Venezuela es la segunda selección que genera más peligro con sus remates en la CONMEBOL Sub-17 2026 (6.1 goles esperados). Su promedio de xG por disparo también es el segundo mayor del torneo (0.10xG - junto a Argentina - y detrás solamente de los 0.15xG de Brasil). Dahel Guedes (Uruguay) suma 10 traslados en la CONMEBOL Sub-17 2026, nueve de los cuales fueron progresivos (90%). Este es el segundo mayor porcentaje de cualquier jugador con 10+ conducciones en el torneo, detrás solamente de los 100% del colombiano Jhon Maturano (10/10). - Bolivia vs. Chile - Sede: Estadio Ameliano de Villeta Hora: 20:00h (hora de Paraguay) Árbitro: THAYSLANE DE MELO (BRA) Antecedentes: Chile es el segundo equipo que más minutos disputó en la CONMEBOL Sub17 2026 con uno o más jugadores de ventaja en cancha (88', detrás solo de los 129' de Venezuela). Bolivia, por otro lado, puntuó en su único partido con un futbolista expulsado (1-2 antes de la tarjeta roja, 2-2 al final ante la propia Vinotinto). Bolivia ya vive su mayor racha sin derrotas en el CONMEBOL Sub-17 desde, al menos, 2009 (1V 2E). La Verde estableció esta seguidilla ante Argentina (1-1), que le había ganado los cuatro encuentros previos y ahora intentará extender ante Chile, que le ganó los últimos dos enfrentamientos directos. Carlos Bordas, de Bolivia, es el arquero con más atajadas (21) y goles evitados (+2.65 según el modelo de goles esperados al arco de Opta - xGOT) en la CONMEBOL Sub-17 2026. Además, de los que jugaron más de un partido, es uno de los dos guardametas que registraron 3+ atajadas en 100% de los juegos (3/3), junto a Mijail Vaca, de Ecuador (4/4). CONMEBOL.com/OPTA
