Colombia vs Bolivia Prediction & Betting tips
In the Caribbean port city of Barranquilla Colombia plays Thursday night with a real final against Bolivia. The homeland must clear win anyway to keep in their own hands World Cup qualifiers. The visitors play purely for the honor, though they are absolutely not going to roll out the red carpet.
Colombia :
At the last World Cup Colombia was one of the trendsetters and reached the last eight of the tournament, but it’s still very well will be present whether Los Cafeteros in Russia next year. The team of coach Pekerman does not currently include no further than sixth place, which allows the country to attend outside the boat. The home game against Bolivia must somehow bring three points. However, that has seen the current form easier said than done, because of the last five World Cup qualifiers was only one won.
Since the World Cup Colombia Colombia plays as loose sand and the country has struggled to make the game. Coach Pekerman clearly showed his discontent when he announced the selection, for his selection sees some inexperienced players. More than a third of the 26-man squad has listed fewer than five caps to his name, including Ajax Sanchez. Yet it will still mainly the big boys like Cuadrado (Juventus), Bacca (AC Milan) and James Rodriguez (Real Madrid) are to attract the Colombian cart. Main absentees are Falcao and Jackson Martinez, who received no call from the coach.
Bolivia :
The last time we saw Bolivia in action was at a World Cup finals in 1994, which is again a small 23 years ago. The next year’s World Cup the impoverished country will have to follow behind the TV, because with a penultimate place plays La Verde again no significant role.
That does not mean that there Bolivia and Colombia against the cap will throw. Nearly all internationals are still active in the Bolivian LFPB, a competition where you’re lucky if you even get paid your salary. The match against Colombia for them is therefore a beautiful shop window, to thus perhaps to escape the vagaries of Bolivian club chairmen.
It should be clear that this is absolutely no wonder Bolivia plow. The country relies heavily on its home games, with just over 4,000 meters altitude La Paz as a base. Outdoors obviously falling height advantage away and should almost always frolicking men coach Soria. The last twelve away games were all lost (well). Yet glimmers gently back some hope to the Bolivian horizon because Marcelo Martins is now back all the way to the national team. He lived in discord with the previous coach Baldivieso, but stood since the advent of Soria available for La Verde. That’s good news, because the sixty international is one of the best players that Bolivia has ever produced. In the past he was especially furore at Shakhtar Donetsk, although he has his pockets in recent years to enter the Chinese Super League.
