Analysis and prediction for Bolivia vs Uruguay: Making things difficult for the visiting team.

Latest team news for Bolivia vs Uruguay

Miguelito will be a key player for Bolivia, despite having had very little playing time at Santos. In the qualifying rounds, only Lionel Messi scored more goals than this young talent.

The starting lineup for the match against Peru held no major surprises, and coach Villegas is likely to keep it the same, unless there are last-minute injuries.

Henry Vaca and Jeyson Chura are absent due to injury, while three attacking players, Cesar Menacho, Gabriel Sotomayor, and Enzo Monteiro, have been left out of the squad.

On Uruguay's side, they have a strong squad with very few injuries. However, Giorgian De Arrascaeta will be unavailable after being forced to leave the field in the first half of the match against Argentina.

His replacement that day was his Flamengo teammate, Nicolas de la Cruz, and he may start in the next match. Additionally, coach Bielsa might consider bringing Nahitan Nandez into midfield and having Guillermo Varela play right-back.

Facundo Pellistri made his first start in six weeks against Argentina, following his injury layoff at Panathinaikos. However, his position was one of the most vulnerable points of change in Friday's starting lineup.

Latest predicted lineups for Bolivia vs Uruguay

Bolivia:
Viscarra; Medina, Haquin, Morales, Sagredo; Villamil, Robson Matheus, R Vaca; Miguelito, Algaranaz, Fernandez

Uruguay:
Rochet; Varela, R Araujo, Gimenez, Olivera; Valverde, Bentancur, Nandez; B Rodriguez, Nunez, M Araujo

Latest football match prediction: Bolivia vs Uruguay

Bolivia's poor away form continued last week, as they lost 1-3 in Lima to a Peruvian side currently bottom of the group and having scored only three goals in their previous 12 qualifying matches.

The surprise victory against Chile in September – ending a 67-match winless streak away from home in World Cup qualifiers – had sparked hope, but with the results since that win in Santiago, it's possible Bolivia will have to wait a long time for another away win.

La Verde lost all three of their subsequent matches, against Argentina, Ecuador, and Peru, conceding a total of 13 goals. Furthermore, a draw at home against Paraguay in their most recent game has seriously jeopardized their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1994.

Oscar Villegas's team was somewhat fortunate that Venezuela faltered, but both Chile and Peru – teams that were once thought to be out of the race – have now returned and are close behind Bolivia.

Only four points separate the four teams currently outside the direct qualification zone, but with their current poor away form, Bolivia must make the most of their home advantage if they want to keep their hopes alive.

Moving up to play at the higher altitude of El Alto has given Bolivia a significant boost, as they easily beat Venezuela and overcame Colombia despite playing with a man advantage.

However, after this match, they will face two very difficult opponents at home: Chile and Brazil, with the gap to the direct qualification group widening. Therefore, a play-off spot seems the most realistic hope, although the play-off round will take place on a neutral ground, where they cannot take advantage of their familiar home advantage.

The last time Uruguay visited Bolivia was in La Paz in 2021, where they lost 0-3. Prior to that, in 2012, they also suffered a 1-4 defeat there. This clearly presents a risky opportunity for Uruguay.

Coach Marcelo Bielsa's team had also suffered a defeat before this match, losing 0-1 at home to Argentina on Friday night.

This was Uruguay's first official home defeat since their loss to Argentina in the previous World Cup qualifiers, and only their third defeat in 13 matches throughout the entire qualifying campaign.

However, winning has become difficult for Uruguay recently, as they have only won 1 of their 7 qualifying matches since the Copa America. This performance has caused them to drop in the rankings.

November was their best month, with wins against Colombia and a draw against Brazil away from home – results that almost guaranteed their place in the finals. But a home defeat in the South American qualifiers is always disastrous, as earning points away from home is incredibly difficult.

Uruguay likely only needs one more win to create a safe distance from the chasing pack outside the top six, but a loss in this match would see Bolivia close the gap to just four points, with the race for qualification still extremely tight.
