Brazil vs Bolivia match preview

Brazil are the only team to have featured at all 21 editions of the FIFA World Cup, and their recent imperious record in qualifiers suggests this streak will not be broken any time soon.

The Seleção have finished top of the last four World Cup qualifying tables they’ve featured in, winning 45 of their last 73 qualification fixtures, losing only five.

During the most-recent cycle, Tite’s team accumulated 45 points, out of a possible 51, but this did not translate to success at the finals itself, ousted on penalties by Croatia in the quarter-finals.

The five-times World champions since remained without a permanent Head Coach, with Fernando Diniz still in interim charge, while Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly set to take over just before next summer’s Copa América.

Before then, Brazil do have six qualifying fixtures, starting with this one in Belém, a clash they’re extremely likely to win.

Bolivia, in stark contrast to their illustrious hosts, have not featured at a World Cup since USA ‘94, winning only 26 of their last 125 qualifiers; a remarkably horrendous record.

So, despite the fact La Paz will continue to be a fortress, Gustavo Costas’s team, alongwith Venezuela, are favourites to finish bottom of this group.

Brazil’s last three meetings with Bolivia have seen them prevail 3-0, 5-0 and 4-0, while la Verde’s most-recent goal in this fixture coming 14 years ago.

So, those packed inside Mangueirão, witnessing international football at this stadium for the first time since 2011, will surely have a Brazil victory to celebrate.
