- Competition: World Cup Qualifiers
- Date: Tuesday, 25th March, 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Estadio Municipal de El Alto (El Alto)
Bolivia are #82 on the FIFA World Ranking List and the worst (10th) National Team in the CONMEBOL zone. However, in this WC Qualifiers, Bolivia had a decent start. Because of it, they are in a solid position to secure the World Cup Playoffs and appear in the WC for the first time since 1994. Right now, they are in 7th place with 13 points in 13 rounds - six points away from sixth place, which leads directly to WC.
Uruguay are one of the best national teams in the South America region. They secured the World Cup four consecutive times but had a disappointing one in the previous WC in Qatar as they finished the competition in the group phase. In the WC Qualifiers, "La Celeste" are doing OK as they are sitting in 4th place with 20 points from 13 rounds. Since there are only five rounds, we firmly believe they will secure a top-six finish without any problems.
Bolivia vs Uruguay pick: Both teams to score
Bolivia are a totally different team at home and away from it. At home, in these Qualifiers, they averaged 1.7 points per game, compared to only 0.43 ppg away from home. Also, they are scoring many more goals at home, and we strongly believe they can score against Uruguay as well. Still, we do not believe they are good enough to keep a clean sheet vs a strong team like Uruguay.
Uruguay had their ups and downs lately, but scoring against Bolivia shouldn't be a problem. In the last seven h2h games, Uruguay won six times and have scored an incredible amount of 20 goals - almost three per game.
While we believe Uruguay are a better team overall, we are reluctant to take a bet on them to win due to Bolivia's good home performances. Instead, both teams to score bet looks like a much better option for this WC Qualifier match.

Uruguay team news
Midfielder Manuel Ugarte served his one-game suspension against Argentina and will be available for the upcoming match. Coach Bielsa was frustrated with midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta in the previous match and substituted him after only 42 minutes. It is very possible that de Arrascaeta will be replaced with Ugarte.
