Bolivia is set to host Brazil at the Estadio Hernando Siles on Wednesday for a 2022 CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture. Kickoff is set for 02:30 EAT.
Coming into the campaign as major underdogs, Bolivia had a tough start to World Cup Qualifying, but La Verde were briefly able to keep their slim qualification hopes alive with a slight resurgence. The Bolivians are placed in the bottom-most tier of the table, and they will be desperate for a win. This is the final game in the Qualifiers, and they will be under a lot of pressure. The hosts lost three of their past five overall fixtures, and have conceded a total of seven goals from their last two games combined.
Bolivia will be hoping for a better results coming off 3-0 WC Qualifiers – South America defeat to Colombia in their last encounter. In that game, Bolivia managed 24% possession and two shots with none of them on target. Colombia got 19 shots with seven of them on target and goals by Luis Dias 39’, Miguel Borja 72’ and Mateus Uribe 90’.
On the other hand, The Selecao has already booked their place in this year’s tournament and still boasts an unbeaten record in their 16 qualifying matches. The Brazilians have lost just against one team in their previous 26 fixtures, and the team which defeated them was none other than reigning Latin American champions Argentina.
Brazil heads into this meeting in high spirits coming off 4-0 WC Qualifiers – South America victory to beat Chile in their most recent outing. In that game, Brazil had 58% possession, 18 shots with nine of them on target and goals scored by Neymar 44’P, Vini Jr 45+1’, Philippe Coutinho 72’P and Richarlison 90+1’.
