Bolivia vs Brazil

Bolivia are looking to keep their 2026 World Cup hopes alive when they host Brazil in their final fixture of the CONMEBOL qualifiers.

Facing a Brazilian side already through to the tournament in North America, the Bolivians will be hoping for an easy ride here. It is likely to be an open contest, and goals could be expected.

Bolivia News

Bolivia head into this clash off the back of a 3-0 away defeat to Colombia. That result maintains a recent poor run for Oscar Villegas’ team, who are winless in seven of their last eight qualifying matches.

Sitting one point off the Intercontinental playoff spot, it is not all doom and gloom for Bolivia, who need a win here and a Venezuela defeat to keep their hopes alive. The good news is that they have done some good work at home and are unbeaten in their last five matches in front of their fans, winning at least one half in four of those fixtures.

One of the problems for Bolivia is a shaky backline that has failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight matches. Five of those matches have produced over 2.5 goals, while they have scored in four of their last five home fixtures in the qualifiers.

Brazil News

Brazil were rampant in their previous fixture, easing to a 3-0 home victory over Chile, with Estevao, Lucas Paqueta, and Bruno Guimaraes getting the goals. That result means the Selecao are now unbeaten in eight of their last nine qualifying matches.

The Brazilians travel to El Alto with nothing at stake, having already qualified for the World Cup. Carlo Ancelotti's team will be keen to end their campaign on a high note, but have struggled on their recent travels and are winless in four of their last five away matches.

Goals have not been a problem for Brazil, who have found the net in eight of their last nine matches. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five away fixtures.

Head to Head

Brazil have seven wins and three draws while Bolivia have earned just one victory from the last 11 matches. The Brazilians claimed a 5-1 home victory in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Bolivia v Brazil

Neither defence has shown much solidity lately, and with both teams scoring in the reverse fixture, a repeat is expected here. The last four meetings between Bolivia and Brazil have produced over 2.5 goals, which could be the outcome in this one.

Bolivia will be desperate to give the fans something to cheer about and will be fired up for this clash. Having won at least one half in four of their last five home matches, a similar pattern could be on the cards.
