Bolivia vs Uruguay Preview

• Competition: World Cup Qualifiers
• Date: Wednesday, 26 March
• Kick-Off Time: 08:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Municipal Stadium El Alto

The Bolivia vs Uruguay match will be played on Wednesday, 26 March at the Municipal Stadium El Alto. The seventh-placed team will host the fourth-placed team in the World Cup Qualifiers.

Bolivia's woeful form continued last week when they were beaten 3-1 by Peru away from home. They will be disappointed with their performance as they lost to a side who are below them in the points table. They have dropped points from winning positions and due to their poor defence, they have let people down.

Bolivia's record against Uruguay is not at all good and despite playing at home the pressure will be on them. In 13 games, they have won four matches, drawn one and lost eight games, with 13 points on the table they are sitting at the seventh spot and their chances of qualifying for the World Cup are slipping from their hands. They will have to give their best on the pitch to at least get a point at home.

The Uruguay National Team faced a setback at home as they lost to their arch-rival Argentina who are the current World Champions. Despite creating some good chances they failed to put the ball in the net which caused them to lose three points at home.

Playing at a high altitude will surely be difficult for Uruguay but they do have players who can make an impact on the pitch and help the team to get good results.

They need one or two wins to solidify their position in the table and then they will qualify for the World Cup. Despite performing well against Bolivia on multiple occasions they will have to be at their best to get a good result. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Bolivia vs Uruguay Prediction

Bielsa's men have a very good record against the home side and surely they will be confident going into this fixture. On the other hand, Bolivia are struggling with their form and despite being the home side they are not favourites to win this fixture. This will be an exciting clash for sure. But, most probably the away team will win this fixture.

Predicted Score: Bolivia 0-1 Uruguay
