The CONMEBOL edition of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers are back in action with another set of matches this week as Bolivia lock horns with Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay side in an important encounter at the Centenario Stadium on Tuesday.

Bolivia are currently in ninth place in the CONMEBOL qualification standings and have not been at their best over the past year. The away side eased past Peru by a comfortable 2-0 scoreline and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this match.
Uruguay, on the other hand, are in second place in the qualification table at the moment and have grown in stature in recent months. La Celeste stunned Argentina with a 2-0 victory in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
