Brazil 3/5 to beat Bolivia in Wednesday’s World Cup qualifying contest

Competition: World Cup qualifying

Market: Brazil win

Odds: 3/5 @ 888sport

Two nations who are battling it out at opposite ends of the South American qualifying table, Brazil will make the trip to a struggling Bolivia in the early hours of Wednesday.

Starting with the hosts, last seen marking their return to action with another downbeat display, it is fair to say that Bolivia will know that they face a huge task here. In their 17 qualifying contests, they have recorded just four wins, three draws and 10 defeats, scoring 23 and conceding 38 in return. Managing to muster just a points tally of 15 from a possible 51, they find themselves sat down in ninth and also holding the worst-defensive tally of any South American nation. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a routine 3-0 defeat against Colombia on foreign soil, Bolivia have lost each of their last three outings on the spin. Shipping over 2.5 goals in each of those three straight losses, it’s also worth highlighting that they suffered a 5-0 hammering the last time they faced off against Wednesday’s opponents.

As for the visitors, putting in another hugely impressive display last weekend, Brazil have stormed their way to this year’s World Cup finals. In their 16 qualifying matchups, they have recorded 13 wins against three draws, scoring 36 and conceding just five in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 42 and holding a four-point buffer at the top of the table, it should also be noted that the South American giants hold both the best attacking and defensive records. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 4-0 win against Chile on home soil, Brazil have won their last two contests by an 8-0 aggregate. Bagging 17 strikes in just their last four meetings against Wednesday’s opponents, it is hard to see anything other than a routine away victory for the runaway leaders here.
