The action continues in the CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when Bolivia and Peru go head-to-head at the Estadio Hernando Siles on Thursday.
Both sides are currently separated by just one point at the bottom end of the table and will head into the game in search of their first win of the qualifiers.
Bolivia were left empty-handed once again as they suffered a 1-0 loss against Paraguay when the sides squared off at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco on October 17.
Antonio Carlos Zago’s side have now lost their opening four games in the qualifiers and are winless in seven consecutive matches across all competitions, losing six and claiming one draw since March’s 2-1 friendly victory over Saudi Arabia.
This poor run of results has been owing to their struggles at the defensive end of the pitch, where they have conceded 14 goals since their victory over Saudi Arabia.
Like Thursday’s hosts, Peru failed to get their qualifying campaign up and running as they suffered a 2-0 loss against Argentina last time out.
With one point from four matches, Juan Maximo Reynoso’s men are currently ninth in the qualifying standings, only above Bolivia, who are currently rooted to the bottom of the table.
