Our prediction for the match Chile vs Bolivia
"La Roja" still features players who achieved significant success in the last decade, reaching the Round of 16 in the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, and winning the Copa América twice in 2015 and 2016. However, they have since experienced a decline, missing the last two World Cups. On the other hand, Bolivia has only qualified for the World Cup three times—in 1930, 1950, and 1994—and managed to secure just one draw during their last attempt.
Neither team has impressed in the current cycle. Bolivia managed a victory against a struggling Peru side in the autumn (at home, 1-0) but lost all their other matches. Chile, too, is far from being back in form, with just one win (also against Peru) in six matches and goalless draws at home against Colombia and Paraguay.
Bolivia also had a short-lived Copa América campaign, suffering three defeats, each by at least two goals (including a 1-3 loss to Panama), and exited after the group stage. Under new coach Óscar Villegas, however, they secured a rare emphatic victory last week against Venezuela, winning 4-0. Chile, now managed by Ricardo Gareca since January, failed to score in the Copa América, playing out 0-0 draws with Peru and Canada and losing to Argentina. They also faced Argentina in their last qualifying match, where they again failed to score, and the favorites finished with a 3-0 win.
