 Bolivia - Argentina Prediction, Picks and Taips  


 
 
Last weekend in South America the kick-off for qualifying for the Winter Soccer World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The ten teams play against each other in the first and second leg, the top four have the World Cup ticket firmly in their pockets, the fifth has to win an intercontinental play-off for the last place on the grid.

In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, the games of the second match day are on the program, including a duel between Bolivia and Argentina.

Some football fans will probably be surprised when they look at their favorite bookmaker why such high odds are offered between Bolivia and Argentina for tips on guests. It should be mentioned here that Bolivia hosts its home games in the capital La Paz, a city that is over 3,600 meters above sea level.

The air is accordingly “thin” and history shows that the visiting teams often have huge problems with the mountain air. Is this really enough to compensate for the enormous difference in quality? 

In the betting category World Cup Tips you will also find previews and predictions for the four remaining games of the South American qualification.




 


 
 


Bolivia was last represented at the finals at the soccer World Cup in the USA in 1994, and since then the team from the country with almost 11 million inhabitants has felt miles away from qualifying for the finals. Compared to the South American competition, football at “La Verde” is clearly behind.

In qualifying for the 2006 World Cup, Bolivia finished last in the qualification, in the three most recent qualifications Bolivia had to be content with the penultimate place in the table.
 
The main reason Bolivia did not bring up the rear in the last three attempts was their performance on home ground. Again and again one can read of home advantage, the familiar environment or the atmosphere in the stadium is often given as the reason, but with Bolivia the home advantage is enormous due to the geographic conditions.

The extreme altitude causes problems for many guests and surprising victories in La Paz are not uncommon. Bolivia collected 14 points in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and the underdog scored all points in front of a home crowd. With four wins, two draws and three defeats, the home record was slightly positive. 

Basically, however, Bolivia can save itself from traveling abroad. At the start, the team in Brazil suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat against the Selecao. However, this was by no means surprising, because not only the weakness away from home suggested such a result, but also the quality of the squad.

A fictitious market value does not say anything about the quality, of course, but the fact that the player with the highest market value on the starting line-up in Bolivia is just 400,000 euros suggests that the gauchos have the clear advantages.





 
 
 
 

 
The two-time world champion is still one of the best teams in the world, but has been waiting for a title win for ages. The 1993 Copa America triumph was actually the Albiceleste's last major title win. Despite world footballer Lionel Messi, Argentina could never meet the high expectations.
 
Messi has announced his retirement from the national team several times, but has always returned. Coach Lionel Scaloni has nevertheless forced a change in the squad in recent months.

Paulo Dybala, Mauro Icardi, Angel di Maria, Angel Correa or Gonzalo Higuain no longer appear for the gauchos. But there are some young players like Exequiel Palacios, Nicolas Dominguez or Juan Foyth in the squad.

The qualification kicked off in the home game against Ecuador thanks to a converted penalty from Lionel Messi. In the first international match since November last year, the good form from the previous year was confirmed. Argentina has been unbeaten for eight international matches (five wins, three draws).

 The away game in Bolivia is not a sure-fire success, but the possibility of five changes increases the chances for the gauchos and makes the prognosis for the guests appear lucrative between Bolivia and Argentina.
