Bolivia will host Ecuador at the Estadio Hernando Siles on Thursday in another round of their 2026 CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers.
The home side have endured a poor start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, kicking things off with a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Brazil. They then faced world champions Argentina in their second group game, suffering a 3-0 defeat at the Estadio Hernando Siles to record a fourth consecutive defeat to La Albiceleste.
Bolivia sit rock-bottom in the group table with zero points. They will now be looking to shake off their latest results and pick up their first win of the qualifiers this week.
Ecuador, meanwhile, faced Argentina in their first match, suffering a 1-0 defeat after Lionel Messi sent a free-kick past Hernan Galindez in goal late in the game. However, they returned to winning ways in their next game, beating Uruguay 2-1 with Felix Torres scoring a goal in either half to help overturn a one-goal deficit.
The visitors were docked three points by the Federation and remain on zero points heading into matchday three of the qualifiers.
