The CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup Qualifiers continue on Monday as Uruguay welcome Bolivia to the Estadio Campeón del Siglo.
The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by Peru last time out, while the visitors played out a 1-1 draw against Colombia.
Uruguay resumed their hunt for a place in Qatar on Friday as they played out a 1-1 draw away to Peru.
In a cagey affair at the Estadio Nacional de Lima, Renato Tapia and Giorgian De Arrascaeta scored for either side to force a share of the spoils.
Prior to that, Óscar Tabárez’s men suffered a quarter-final exit from the Copa America after losing to Colombia in penalties.
With nine points from seven games, Uruguay are fourth in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier standings, three points and four places above Monday’s visitors.
Bolivia failed to return to winning ways last time out as they played out a 1-1 draw against Colombia.
Roger Martínez gave the Colombians the lead in the 69th minute, but Fernando Saucedo restored parity with seven minutes remaining on the clock.
This followed a dire Copa America run, where they lost each of their four games, while conceding 10 goals and scoring just twice.
However, Bolivia are on a four-game unbeaten run in the World Cup qualifiers and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
