Bolivia will welcome Paraguay at Estadio Municipal de El Alto in the CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. Both teams have four wins in 11 games thus far and Los Guaraníes are in sixth place in the standings, leading the hosts by four points and two places.
La Verde suffered their second consecutive defeat in the qualifiers last week as they fell to a 4-0 away loss to Ecuador. Defender José Sagredo was sent off in the 24th minute and they conceded four goals after that. They failed to score for the second game in a row and will look to return to goalscoring ways.
The visitors have seen an upturn in form recently and are unbeaten in their last five games in the World Cup qualifiers. They made it two wins on the spin last week, recording a 2-1 home win over reigning World Cup champions Argentina.

Bolivia vs Paraguay Prediction
La Verde have suffered two consecutive defeats in the World Cup qualifiers, conceding 10 goals without a reply. They have won their last three home games in the qualifiers and will look to build on that record. This match will be played at Municipal Stadium El Alto, which is situated at an altitude of over 4100 meters, thus Bolivia will have a significant advantage.
La Albirroja registered their first win over Argentina since 2016 last week and will look to build on that momentum. Interestingly, they have suffered three consecutive defeats in away meetings against the hosts, failing to score in the last two.
They have enjoyed an unbeaten run under manager Gustavo Alfaro and will look to continue that form. They have endured a 13-game winless run in away games in the qualifiers, failing to score in the last 12.
Bolivia have a good recent home record while the visitors have struggled in their away games. With that in mind, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.
