Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Bolivia will look to recover from a heavy 4-0 loss to Ecuador when they face Paraguay in what could be a crucial World Cup qualifier. La Verde are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. Jose Sagrado is banned for the match following his sending off in the defeat to Ecuador. It has to be noted that Estadio Municipal de El Alto is located 4150 metres above sea level.
La Albirroja, on the other hand, did well to shock Argentina in their last qualifying match, but seeing that they have yet to record a win on the road in the process, we are tempted to bet on Bolivia this time out. When the two sides met in La Paz three years ago Bolivia rolled over Paraguay 4-0. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to El Alto.
Highlighted Team (Bolivia):
Bolivian Football Federation has been established in 1926 and it is one of the 10 member of South American Football Confederation. Managed by Julio César Baldivieso, La Verde have gone through difficult times since their second place finish at Copa America 1997.
Three-time World Cup participants have last appeared at the global stage in 1994 and they have never gone past the first round on any of the three tournaments, scoring only one goal at the tournament held in the USA. Bolivia took part in 24 Copa America tournaments since their debut in 1926 and the most prominent result was their 1963 title.
Luis Hector Cristaldo and Marco Sandy are the two players with most caps for Bolivia with their 93 international appearances, while Joaquin Botero’s name still stands at the top of the scoring charts with the former Bolivian international netting 20 during his time with the national team.
