Bolivia welcomes Chile to the Estadio Hernando Siles in this crucial World Cup qualifier. The hosts are in 8th position with 15 points while the visitors are in 7th position with 16 points. Bolivia are five points out of the automatic qualifying positions and four points from the fifth spot promotional playoffs. They were humbled 4-1 by Venezuela in their last match and will need to immediately bounce back with a win. Bolivia have been wildly inconsistent as they have lost two of their three matches. Prior to this they had won two matches in row. The biggest problem that they face is their defensive fragilities. Bolivia have conceded a league high 32 goals in their 15 matches at an average of 2.13 per match. In their last ten matches Bolivia have been hit and miss either winning or losing and have failed to draw any of these matches.

Chile are coming off two successive losses to Argentina and Ecuador respectively. They are four points behind the automatic qualifying positions and three points behind the promotional playoff spot. Chile won their last away match in the qualifiers when they beat Paraguay. This was their first away win in their seven matches on the road. They have struggled to find the back of the net on their travels netting just five goals in their seven games. They will be looking to star striker Alexis Sanchez to provide them with much needed goals. Chile’s task will be made all the more difficult with the home team undefeated in the last nine matches between these teams.
