Chile vs Bolivia Prediction 10.09.2024 | World Cup Qualification

• Competition: World Cup Qualification
• Date: 10.09.2024
• Kickoff: 22:00 UK / 23:00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos (Santiago de Chile)

A convincing defeat against Argentina on the road a few days ago brought an additional dose of concern to the Chilean national team. Out of 10 teams in the South American qualification zone for the World Cup, they are in 9th place. Their only victory was against Peru, the last team in the standings, so it is clear that every next match is super important for them. Chile plays much worse away from home where they lost all 4 matches, so home matches are a chance for points.

So far, Bolivia has managed to qualify for the final World Cup tournament only 3 times. The last time it happened was in 1994 when they were eliminated in the group stage. Bolivia crushed Venezuela in the previous qualifying match 4-0 and they mostly make good use of that home ground advantage which is very inconvenient for rivals due to the high altitude. This time they hosted Venezuela at an altitude of over 4,000 meters above sea level

Chile vs Bolivia pick: CHILE TO WIN AND COVER AH -1.5

Chile has no more room for error and time is running out to collect the necessary number of points for a position that would leave them in the game for the World Cup. Bolivia does not play more than 50% of what it can provide on the home field and this is a great chance for Chile, which is a better rival in almost all positions. In 8 of the last 10 matches, they beat Bolivia at home and we expect another comfortable victory with a 2 or more goal difference.
