Bolivia vs Colombia Prediction and Betting Tips | October 10th 2024

The action resumes in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers as Bolivia and Colombia lock horns at the Municipal Stadium El Alto on Thursday. Nestor Lorenzo’s men head into the midweek clash unbeaten in 13 straight competitive and friendly games against the hosts since September 2003 and will look to extend that dominant run.

Bolivia picked up consecutive wins for the first time since January 2022 as they edged out Chile 2-1 at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in their previous World Cup qualifier on September 10.

Before that, Oscar Villegas’ men were on a run of six consecutive defeats, including three straight losses in the 2024 Copa America and three in friendlies, before thrashing Venezuela 4-0 on September 5.

With nine points from nine matches, Bolivia are currently eighth in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying standings, level on points (nine) with seventh-placed Paraguay.

Colombia, on the other hand, snapped their three-game losing streak against Argentina last time out when they edged out La Albiceleste 2-1 at the Estadio Metropolitano.

Lorenzo’s men are now the only side yet to suffer defeat in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying race, claiming four wins and four draws from their eight matches so far. Colombia have picked up 16 points from a possible 24 to sit second in the standings, level on points with first-placed Argentina.
