Will the Cafeteros secure their World Cup ticket?
No wonder: The host’s squad is clearly stronger than Bolivia’s, and the home advantage cannot be overestimated in this case. The visitors have lost all of their last four away games in World Cup qualifying and conceded no fewer than 15 goals! Against this backdrop, the Colombia vs. Bolivia prediction is for more than two goals from the home side.
In addition, we expect a goal from the current top scorer in World Cup qualifying. We are talking about Bayern striker Luis Diaz, who has already scored seven goals in the competition! He is also in good form at the moment: the former Liverpool striker has scored in three of Munich’s last four competitive games.
Colombia – Bolivia Head-to-head record
The last direct duel took place in October last year and ended with a historic 1-0 victory for the “Altiplanicos” against Colombia. This ended a 21-year winless streak for the men from the “Estadio Hernando Siles” in this fixture (0-3-10).
However, for the next meeting between Colombia and Bolivia at the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez, the odds are once again clearly pointing towards a win for the home side. You can find odds for the match at VBET, and the bookmaker also regularly offers odds boosts.
Colombia – Bolivia Tip
When it comes to the favorite for the match in the Colombian coastal town of Barranquilla, there are no two opinions: anything less than a clear victory for the hosts would be a huge surprise. The home team will certainly not be lacking in motivation.
A win would see them through to the World Cup qualifiers, and the Colombians still have a score to settle after their recent defeat to coach Óscar Villegas’s visiting team. Another factor in favor of a defeat for the visitors is that they have been consistently disappointing away from home recently.
Four consecutive away defeats and an average of almost four goals conceded per game show that Bolivia is a serious opponent at home, not least because of the venue, which is located at an altitude of more than 3,600 meters, but is significantly less strong away from home.
This is also evident from the fact that the visitors have only picked up three of their 14 points in World Cup qualifying away from home and no other team in the competition has conceded more away goals. In light of this, we recommend betting on the hosts scoring more than two goals in the match between Colombia and Bolivia.
