"Returning to home soil in midweek sat one-point adrift of breaking into the play-off spot, Oscar Villegas' camp will be more than aware that they face a monumental challenge here. Despite signing off June's international break with a much-needed 2-0 win against Chile, La Verde came immediately crashing back down to earth last time out. Completely blown away against Colombia over the weekend as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming,"
"As for the visitors, while Carlo Ancelotti might have got his Brazilian adventure underway with a 0-0 stalemate against Ecuador back on June 6th, the South American icons have come roaring back. Last seen over the weekend putting in a dominant display on home soil as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp against Chile, the Selecao will simply be looking to sign off their qualifying campaign with a final statement of intent."
Bolivia head into their final World Cup qualifying match in El Alto needing a miracle to secure a play-off place, sitting one point outside the spot. Oscar Villegas' side recently beat Chile 2-0 but were thrashed 3-0 by Colombia and have only one win in eight qualifiers over the past 11 months. Young Oscar Lopez joins the squad while veteran goalkeeper Carlos Lampe starts, Miguelito continues leading the attack on loan at America MG, and Efrain Morales anchors the defense. Brazil recovered from an opening 0-0 with Ecuador to win 3-0 against Chile and aim to finish qualifying with a statement.
