The International Friendly match between Bolivia and Chile will take place at Estadio Ramon Tahuichi Aguilera on Wednesday at 5:30 am IST.
Bolivia aims to secure just their second victory in over a year as they prepare to face Chile in a friendly match at Estadio Ramon Aguilera Costas. Bolivia has faced difficulties in their recent friendlies after failing to qualify for the World Cup in December. On the other hand, Chile seeks to extend their winning streak and achieve their fourth consecutive victory. Both teams, representing South America, will go head-to-head in this encounter.
Bolivia suffered a narrow defeat against Ecuador, with Enner Valencia’s 69th-minute goal securing the win. Their form in friendly matches has been poor, losing four out of five games since their 4-0 defeat to Brazil in World Cup qualifiers. It’s unlikely that Bolivia will be favorites to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Their only victory since January 2022 came in a successful match against Saudi Arabia in March. However, they face a tough challenge in September’s World Cup qualifiers with matches against Brazil and Argentina within a short span.
Chile aims for a third consecutive victory in the current international period after triumphs against Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Ben Brereton Diaz’s first-ever hat-trick, accompanied by Bruno Barticciotto’s brace, sealed a resounding 5-0 win in their previous match. While Chile missed the last two World Cups, the new qualification format, advancing the top six teams from CONMEBOL, increases their chances of securing a spot in the tournament. Their most recent competitive victory came against Bolivia in February 2022, with Alexis Sanchez scoring twice and Marcelino Nunez adding another goal in a successful match in La Paz.
Bolivia possible starting lineup: Lampe, Sagredo, Quinteros, Sagredo, Ibanez, Bejarano, Quiroga, Roca, Terceros, Algaranaz, Moreno
Chile possible starting lineup: Arias, Delgado, Catalan, Medel, Suazo, Pulgar, Valdes, Nunez, Vidal, Barticciotto, Brereton Diaz
