Uruguay vs Bolivia Match Analysis & Prediction
22/11/2023 2:30 am
Uruguay will be looking to continue their fine start to World Cup qualifying when they host Bolivia at Estadio Centenario on Wednesday.
After getting the better of another South American giant on Friday, the hosts will hope to take advantage of what is usually the easiest game in CONMEBOL qualifying.
Uruguay achieved the unlikely feat of defeating Brazil and Argentina in successive qualifiers, after winning away in Buenos Aires last week.
After beating Brazil 2-0 here last month in one of the most cagey affairs there will be all season, Marcelo Bielsa took his side away to the world champions and overcame them through a 2-0 scoreline on their own turf.
Darwin Nunez has been crucial to their success, finding the back of the net in both wins, as well an in an impressive 2-2 draw away at Colombia.
That leaves Uruguay in second position, just two points behind Argentina – who next face Brazil – after ending their 100% start.
Bolivia are the kindest opponents Uruguay could have been given after two hard-fought wins, as their upcoming opponents are among one of the worst away sides in international football.
In their last 66 away World Cup qualifiers, Bolivia have taken just nine points, as it is now over 30 years since their last competitive qualifying victory outside of their home country – against Venezuela in 1993.
However, a huge victory on Thursday at home to Peru should give them some confidence, as it lifted them off the bottom following four defeats from four to start.
Uruguay vs. Bolivia Head to head
In the 19 previous meetings between these two teams, Uruguay have claimed 12 victories while Bolivia have won four, and they have drawn in three. Bolivia have scored 18 goals and conceded 42 in the process.
