MATCH INFO

Start date: 30 Mar 2022 05:00
Location: La Paz Venue: Estadio Hernando Siles

Following a 4-0 win last time out, Brazil will look to continue building momentum for the World Cup 2022 campaign when they take on Bolivia on Tuesday.

The Selecao have already booked their place in this year's tournament and still boast an unbeaten record in their 16 qualifying matches.

Match Preview

Coming into the campaign as major underdogs, Bolivia had a tough start to World Cup Qualifying, but La Verde was briefly able to keep their slim qualification hopes alive with a slight resurgence.

Eye-catching wins over Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay in a four-game span saw Cesar Farias's side move onto 15 points from 14 games, putting them in contention to sneak into fifth place if they could continue their upturn in form.

They were unable to do that, though, with La Verde having now lost their last three matches, firstly falling to Venezuela and Chile early in the new year.

Farias's men returned to action this week with a trip to Colombia, and they were sent home empty-handed as Luis DiazMiguel Borja and Mateus Uribe got on the scoresheet in a 3-0 win for the hosts.

Now sitting ninth with one game to go, and with no chance of qualifying, La Verde has very little play for, but they will still be hoping to record what would be a historic win against the South American giants.

Brazil headed into the World Cup Qualifying campaign as heavy favourites to progress at the top end of the South American group, and they have delivered on their potential so far.

In their 16 outings, the Selecao have picked up 13 victories and not suffered a defeat, leading Argentina by four points at the top of the group as a result.

That has been down to a fine run of performances at both ends of the pitch, with no other nation matching their tallies of 36 goals scored and only five conceded, having most recently recorded consecutive 4-0 wins.

They firstly rounded off the first round of fixtures of the new year with a thrashing of Paraguay, before returning to action with a home victory over Chile last time out, as NeymarVinicius JuniorPhilippe Coutinho and Richarlison all got on the scoresheet.

Before their rescheduled meeting with Argentina to round off qualifying, Tite's side will aim to continue building confidence with another big win in La Paz before they head into the competition looking for a sixth World Cup title.

Team News

Bolivia seems to be going through a transitional period, having not called up experienced players like Juan Carlos ArceRodrigo RamalloLeonel Justiniano and goalkeeper Carlos Lampe.

Arguably the biggest absence is recorded appearance maker and top scorer Marcelo Moreno, with Juan Montenegro likely to be given another start upfront as a result.

Jose Sagredo and Moises Villarroel will bring much-needed pieces of international experience on defence and midfield respectively.

Brazil boasts a squad full of quality and experience, and Neymar will continue to lead the line, having taken his tally to 71 international goals in 117 caps last time out.

Vinicius Junior should again keep his place on the left-hand side thanks to his performances for Real Madrid this season, while the likes of Antony, Richarlison, Lucas PaquetaGabriel Martinelli and Philippe Coutinho will battle for the other two spots.

Further back, Fabinho will hope to come back in at the base of midfield, while Marquinhos and Thiago Silva are expected to play alongside one another at centre-back with Eder Militao also vying for a start.

Bolivia possible starting lineup:
Cordano; Enoumba, Haquin, Carrasco, Sagredo, Fernadez; Menacho, Villarroel, Vaca, Garcia; Montenegro

Brazil possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Silva, Arana; Casemiro, Fabinho; Richarlison, Coutinho, Vinicius; Neymar


We say: Bolivia 0-3 Brazil

La Paz is certainly not the easiest place to go, but Brazil possesses the quality to post a resounding victory on Tuesday.

With their wealth of attacking talent, the Selecao will expect to help themselves to several goals against one of South America's strugglers.
