The 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers continue this week and will see Bolivia host Chile at the Estadio Hernando Siles on Tuesday.
Bolivia were beaten 4-1 by Venezuela in their last game and could have lost by a wider margin with the quality of chances created by their opponents. Bruno Miranda scored the sole goal for Bolivia, his first-ever competitive goal for the nation.
The home side sit eighth in the table with just 15 points from 15 games. They will now be looking to return to winning ways when they play later this week.
Chile's disappointing World Cup qualifying run continued last week. They were beaten 2-1 on home soil by high-flying Argentina and failed to create any noteworthy chances to level the scores. La Roja have now lost back-to-back games.
Chile sit a place and a point above their midweek hosts in the table. They will be looking to string together a positive run of results as the qualifiers run to an end.

Bolivia vs Chile Prediction
Bolivia have lost two of their last three qualifying games. They have also conceded the most goals in the group, with 32 goals conceded in just 15 games. They have, however, won their last four games on home turf and will be looking to make it five this week.
Chile are on a run of back-to-back losses and have won just four of their 15 World Cup qualifiers so far. The visitors, however, are the stronger side and should be able to win on Tuesday.
Prediction: Bolivia 1-2 Chile
