Bolivia vs Colombia Prediction 10.10.2024 | World Cup Qualifiers

• Competition: WC Qualifiers South America
• Date: Thursday, 10th, October 2024
• Kickoff: 21:00 UK / 22.00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Municipal de El Alto (El Alto)

Colombia is determined to continue their undefeated campaign as they prepare to meet Bolivia at the Estadio Municipal de El Alto in the ninth matchday of their World Cup qualifying journey on Thursday.

After enduring four consecutive defeats in their World Cup qualifiers and crashing out of the Copa America with zero points, the frustrated Bolivian Football Federation lost patience and dismissed Antonio Carlos from his position as head coach. For his successor, Oscar Villegas was chosen, and he has undoubtedly injected fresh energy and revitalized La Verde by guiding them to a perfect six points from two September qualification challenges, reigniting their hopes for a top-seven finish.

At the opposite end of the pitch stands the Colombian national team, which experienced a remarkable run in this summer's Copa America by reaching the final, only to fall to Argentina in a dramatic showdown, succumbing to a solitary strike after extra time. Just two months after that heartbreaking setback, Los Cafeteros found a way to exact revenge on Argentina by narrowly winning 2-1 in Barranquilla to close the gap to just two points while currently sitting in second and are very close to returning to the World Cup stage after missing out in Qatar.

Bolivia vs Colombia Betting Tips: COLOMBIA TO WIN

While it's true that the Bolivians delivered a stunning performance in their last outing in September by toppling Chile away from home with a score of 2-1, we believe it's time for the new coach Oscar Villegas to experience his first bitter taste of defeat as Colombia has been impressively strong in recent months. It is impressive that Los Cafeteros remain unbeaten in the regular 90 minutes under the guidance of Nestor Lorenzo, as they boast an outstanding record of 20 victories and eight draws to date and should have too much quality for their next rivals. It is worth noting that Colombia has faced little difficulty against Bolivia in recent years, having won seven out of the last eight encounters, which further strengthens our support for the visiting team to secure another victory. Ultimately, we anticipate that Colombia will maintain this positive momentum while simultaneously applying pressure on Argentina for the top spot by seizing the entire prize during their trip to Bolivia.
