Bolivia vs Chile Prediction

• Tournament: World Cup Qualifiers
• Date: Tuesday, 10 June 2025
• Kick-Off Time: 20:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Municipal Stadium, El Alto

Bolivia aim to inch closer to a possible qualification spot in their CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification group when they host a dejected Chile side in their next qualifier at the Municipal Stadium in El Alto. The Bolivia vs Chile clash will take place on Tuesday, 10 June at 20:00 PM GMT.

Bolivia have failed to win a single one of their last five qualifiers, which has caused them to fall to 8th place with only 14 points from 15 matches. They need to win their remaining group games to have a chance of potentially earning a seventh-place finish, which can help them play in the inter-confederation playoffs qualifiers.

Oscar Villegas needs to motivate his troops to produce an inspired effort in front of their home fans to get a big win against Chile. They will, of course, need to be more stubborn defensively to frustrate the visitors, but their primary objective will be to play exciting attacking football and be clinical in converting their opportunities to get all three points.

Chile have also had a dreadful qualification campaign, having only managed two wins in their last five games. They currently sit in the 10th place in CONMEBOL qualification group, having just 10 points from 15 points and two wins.

Ricardo Gareca will need to come up with something special to motivate his troops to take the fight to Bolivia and defeat them on their turf. He needs his players to be resilient and disciplined defensively, as well as being quick on the counter-attacks and prolific in being able to finish off those chances to get a big win under their belt.

Oscar Villegas will be sweating on the fitness of a few squad players who have struggled with niggles in recent weeks. It remains to be seen if he gives game-time to the likes of Diego Arroyo, Lucas Macazaga, Gary Rea, and Jhon Velasquez, whom he gave debut call-ups to the squad recently.

Ricardo Gareca opted against giving call-ups to players like Gary Medel, Eduardo Vargas, and Mauricio Isla for these qualifiers. He should have a fully fit squad available at his disposal after the game against Argentina.

Bolivia vs Chile Head-to-Head Record

Key Players to Watch in Bolivia vs Chile

Carmelo Algaranaz (Bolivia)

Carmelo Algaranaz remains Bolivia's prime goalscoring candidate up-front, having managed to score two goals in their 2026 World Cup qualifiers so far. He has managed a decent 25% goal conversion rate, showing his ability to put away chances from prime locations on multiple occasions.

The 29-year-old forward needs to tap into his clinical best to lead the fight for Bolivia against Chile and torment their defenders. He needs to be smart with his movement and link-up play, but most importantly, get to the end of chances and put them away emphatically to help his side get a big win.

Dario Osorio (Chile)

The 21-year-old winger had a decent 2024/25 season with FC Midtjylland, only slightly underperforming his 3.81 xG (expected goals) to score three goals in the Superligaen. Osorio is a hard-working and versatile forward who can adapt to different situations really well and be a tenacious figure on the pitch.

He will need to be at his energetic best to take on defenders, get into the empty spaces, and try to create big chances with his innovative crosses, as well as try to put away chances efficiently to help Chile get a much-needed victory.

Bolivia vs Chile Prediction

The recent matches between these two sides have been relatively tightly fought affairs. Considering their current predicament, it's likely that this upcoming qualifier will turn out to be a scrappy, aggressive encounter with a lot of drama behind it.

Both these sides will fight hard to secure a win, which should result in an entertaining game and plenty of goal-scoring opportunities. However, Bolivia's home advantage could end up tipping the result in their favor and helping them to a narrow win.

Prediction: Bolivia 2-1 Chile
