It’s a bottom of the table clash in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers as bottom-placed Bolivia take on ninth-placed Peru. This matchday five of the campaign will be played at the Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz on Thursday. Bolivia started this qualification campaign with four straight losses – to Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, and Paraguay. Although the last two losses have been via a single-goal margin, their defensive tally of 11 conceded is the worst of all teams in this qualification edition. This run has extended their wait for a win in the World Cup qualifiers to eight straight matches. That includes losing four in a row in the home World Cup qualifiers which puts even more pressure on the Bolivians.

Peru are quite unlikely to take advantage of that poor record, going by their own campaign. The visitors are the only side yet to score a goal in this qualification campaign, although they have kept it tight with just five conceded. They started their campaign with a goalless draw against Paraguay, which was followed by three straight defeats. A 1-0 defeat to Brazil was then followed by 2-0 defeats to Chile and Argentina keeping them without a goal. While the visitors can be happy with their defensive performances, goals eluded them. In fact, they have failed to score on their last three away World Cup qualifying matches as well. It could be a challenge to break that rut on this trip.
