Uruguay haven’t been very impressive in their recent matches, a script they’ll be looking to change when they host Bolivia for the eighth round of World Cup qualification in South America. Going to the game, Uruguay are placed fourth in the standings with nine points and Bolivia eighth with six points. Uruguay are tied on points with Colombia, who they face in October so they’ll be keen on pulling away. They beat Bolivia 2-0 at the Copa America, with Edinson Cavani scoring one of the goals, but this time they won’t have him and neither is Luis Suarez available. Uruguay have three clean sheets in the last five matches and all those five have produced under 2.5 goals. They are however winless in their last four World Cup qualification matches, losing one and keeping two clean sheets. At home in World Cup qualifiers, they have two wins in their last four, losing just one of them.

Bolivia on the other hand, go to this game winless in their last five matches. They have one win and six losses in the last 10, and haven’t kept a clean sheet in the 10 games. Four of their last six have ended in under 2.5 goals with both teams scoring in eight of the last 10. Ahead of this game they secured a point from a losing position, in a 1-1 draw with Colombia and will want to build on it against Uruguay, though they’ll miss Carmelo Algaranaz in the game. The forward, who plays for Always Ready, in Bolivia was sent off in stoppage time after Fernando Saucedo’s 83rd minute equalizer. Bolivia have three straight losses against Uruguay but in World Cup qualifiers, they’re very poor, especially away from home. They have no win in 57 away World Cup qualification matches, drawing seven and losing 50.
