Bolivia vs Colombia Prediction & Match Preview

Bolivia vs Colombia Prediction

Colombia climbed to second place in the South American World Cup qualifying standings after a huge 2-1 win over Argentina a month ago.

James Rodriguez stole the show with a goal and an assist, taking Los Cafeteros to revenge on Los Gauchos for the narrow extra-time defeat in the Copa America final this summer.

Colombia now have four wins and draws apiece from the opening eight rounds of the qualifying campaign.

They boast one of the best defensive records with just five goals conceded along the way.

The Colombians will now face the likes of Bolivia on Thursday evening in Matchday No 9 away at Estadio El Alto.

Bolivia will also come into the tie on a high after a huge 2-1 win away at Chile. It was the third win in the last four qualifiers for the Bolivians who have thus compensated for a horrendous start to the campaign.

It is always difficult to play in high altitude in Bolivia but we still have plenty of reasons to back the visitors at attractive odds here.

Firstly, Bolivia did beat Chile 2-1 last month but they’ve done so from just two shots on target. For the sake of comparison, Chile fired 18 attempts in that game.

Furthermore, Bolivia have already lost two out of four home outings in this qualifying campaign.

Lastly, Colombia’s main stars have been firing on all cylinders in the Premier League as Luis Diaz and Jhon Duran are scoring goals for fun at the beginning of the season.

Bolivia also boast the worst defensive record in the whole qualifiers with 15 goals allowed in 8 matches.

This will be the music to the ears of Luis Diaz who is 3.40 to score anytime on Thursday. The away win is paid at the 2.45 odds.
