Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Bolivia will look to recover from a 2-0 loss to Venezuela when they take on Chile in a highly-anticipated World Cup qualifier. La Verde are now four points behind the playoffs spot, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. Midfielder Moises Villarroel is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the last qualifying game, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
La Roja, on the other hand, are having a qualifying campaign to forget, with the team sitting in the ultimate place in the standings. Chile suffered a heart-breaking loss to Argentina on Friday and with Bolivia being a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return home empty-handed. Earlier in the process, Bolivia shocked Chile at Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos, which definitely supports our betting prediction. Chile veteran Arturo Vidal is widely expected to drop to the bench, with Javier Altamirano pushing for a start.
Highlighted Player (Arturo Vidal):

Arturo Vidal is a Chilean international who started his senior career at Colo-Colo. In 2007 he moved to Europe, signing a deal with Bayer Leverkusen. After making 117 league appearances for the Bundesliga outfit from 2007 to 2011, he joined Juventus on 22 July, 2011 for a fee of €10.5 million.
Vidal won four Serie A trophies with the Bianconeri and he participated in the Champions League final against Barcelona on 6 June, 2015. The Serie A giants, though, were beaten by Barca in the title game. In the summer of 2015 he moved to Bayern Munich and he won the Bundesliga trophies with Pep Guardiola’s team in the 2015/2016 season. Speaking of his international career, Vidal won two Copa America trophies with Chile (2015, 2016).
The Chilean ace is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both as defensive at attacking midfielder as well. His contract with Bayern Munich expires on 30 June, 2019.
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.
