Bolivia must beat Brazil and hope for a favour from Colombia | OneFootball

To access the Playoff, Bolivia must beat Brazil and hope that Colombia ties or defeats Venezuela.

Bolivia and Brazil will play from 8:30 PM at the Municipal Stadium of El Alto, for the South American Qualifiers heading to the 2026 World Cup to be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

La Verde, with the altitude in its favor and keeping an eye on Venezuela's result, will go for the victory that allows them to access the playoff: they must win and hope for a helping hand from Colombia, who faces Venezuela.

How Bolivia and Brazil arrive at the Qualifiers match

Bolivia managed to stay alive until the last date for the first time since the 1994 edition, and although they do not depend on themselves, they hope to get a good result to enter the World Cup playoff, which will take place in March 2026 and has a new format.

La Vinotinto has a total of 18 points; La Verde, on the other hand, has just one point less (17). Consequently, Bolivia needs to beat Brazil and for Venezuela to lose or tie against Colombia.

On the other hand, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti managed to face this FIFA date already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, but did not convince their fans due to their low level shown during the Qualifiers. In this situation, the Italian coach assured that during this window he would call up “new players” and surprised with the absence of stars like Rodrygo, Neymar, and Vinicius, still shining and thrashing Chile at the Maracanã, so they will seek to continue their rise in this last matchday.
