Bolivia vs Peru Prediction & Match Preview

Peru will be looking to score their inaugural goal in the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign on Thursday afternoon when they visit Estadio Hernando Siles for the Matchday No 5 clash against fellow strugglers Bolivia.

The two sides sit right next to each other at the very foot of the standings in the South American zone, claiming a grand total of one point combined after four rounds.

Los Incas will not have stars such as Paolo Guerrero, Andre Carrillo, Raul Ruidiaz, or Gianluca Lapadula on disposal in two November’s matches.

Head coach Juan Reynoso generally has huge problems with the squad ahead of the games against Bolivia and Venezuela.

The hosts, on the other side, boast by far the worst defensive record in the competition with eleven goals allowed in four games so far.

They have lost all four along the way, shipping five goals in two home defeats to Argentine and Ecuador.

We all know how tough is to play in the high altitude of Bolivia’s capital city La Paz for any South American team and we have to take this factor into consideration before making a prediction for the outcome of Thursday’s match as well.

Latest Meetings

It’s been exactly a year since these two teams last met each other and Peru claimed a 1-0 win in a friendly.

The home court advantage has played a massive role in the history of this matchup as Bolivia managed 6 wins, 2 draws, and just 3 losses in the last 11 home outings against Peru.

None of the last three H2H encounters between these counterparts produced goals at both ends.

The Verdict

Both teams are struggling badly going into this tie. However, we fancy Bolivia because of the home court advantage and the high altitude in La Paz and the new-manager bounce as Brazilian coach Antonio Carlos Zago will make the debut at the Bolivian helm on Thursday.

The home win is paid at the 2.10 odds while we alternatively go for the Under 2.5 goals FT pick at the 1.60 odds knowing that these two teams have scored two goals combined in the inaugural four qualifying rounds.
