Bolivia vs Chile prediction: Another win for Bolivia
Key stats
- Bolivia have gone over 2.5 total goals in eight of their last 11 matches in all competitions.
- Chile are last in the standings in these WC qualifiers with 10 points from 15 games and they are winless in their last three matches.
- Bolivia have a good record at home in the qualifiers, with three wins, two draws, and just two losses.
Correct score prediction: Bolivia 3-1 Chile
While it is very likely that neither of these teams will make it to the World Cup, Chile's chances are significantly lower since they're last in the standings and failing to win this match would put them out of contention for sure.
Bolivia are in a better position, but their abysmal record away from home with seven losses in eight games will likely be their undoing. That being said, the only away win for Bolivia in these qualifiers was against Chile, so we can see them getting the better of them at home as well.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bolivia favoured by the bookies
- HOME: 8/13 (1.62) – 61.90%
- DRAW: 29/10 (3.90) – 25.60%
- AWAY: 17/4 (5.25) – 19.00%

Bolivia preview: Trying to stay in the race
After three wins in a row back in September and December, it seemed that Bolivia might just make it to their first World Cup since 1994. However, Bolivia have failed to win any games since then, six in a row, so now they sit four points behind Venezuela as they try to catch up with them and get a place in the inter-confederation play-offs.

Chile preview: Only theoretical chances remain
After winning just 10 points from 15 matches in these World Cup qualifiers, Chile are last in the group standings and pretty much out of chances to get to the World Cup. They are eight points behind Venezuela right now, who they would have to overtake, with three games left in the qualifiers.

Player to watch: Miguel Terceros
The young winger already has 23 caps for Bolivia under his name at 21 years of age and he's the leader of this young team, at least when it comes to Bolivia's offence. After all, Terceros is the team's top scorer with six goals and he will lead their attack against Chile too.
