Free Prediction and Betting Tips for Colombia vs Bolivia
Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Colombia win and under 3.5 goals – 1.77
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Both teams to score no – 1.46
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Correct score 1-0 – 6.50
Colombia Win and 3.5 Goals
With odds of 1.12, Colombia are the overwhelming favorites to win this game. In addition, Colombia lost one of their last six home games. On the other side, Bolivia have no wins in this WCQ when they play on the road.
Both Teams To Score No
In Colombia’s last ten home games, there were goals from one team. Also, both teams did not score in Bolivia’s seven of their last ten fixtures. With the statistics show that there is a 75% chance that we won’t see both teams score in this game.
Correct Score 1-0
This prediction is based on a tactical analysis since the statistics show a very weak Colombian form. In the last three h2h meetings, Colombia won twice and one of them was by 1-0. As a result, since Colombia are having offensive problems, we think a 1-0 score is the most relevant.

Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Colombia vs Bolivia
With just two games remaining in the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying (WCQ), Colombia must realistically win both of their matches. At the same time, La Tricolor will rely on results elsewhere if they are to qualify for a third straight World Cup finals.
Moreover, coach Reinaldo Rueda’s team will also have to score a goal if they are to do that. Notably, they haven’t achieved that in a shocking seven straight WCQ games, a new unwanted national record during one cycle.
Although faltering in attack, Colombia have at least been solid in defense. Since their last win (3-1 vs Chile), The Coffee Growers have played out three goalless draws across their last four home WCQ matches (L1). There’s no better time for a Colombian resurgence though given that they’re coming up against a leaky Bolivia side that’s conceded seven times across their last two matches.
A 3-2 defeat at the hands of Chile last time out essentially ended Bolivia’s dreams of a first World Cup finals appearance since 1994. Obviously, the Greens don’t have the advantage they have while playing at home at a high altitude when they travel.
This can be seen in their winless away record in the qualifiers (D2, L6) which includes a group’s worst defensive record (25 goals conceded). That away record is likely to stay the same unless La Verde can end the trend of losing every WCQ away match against Colombia.
Colombia vs Bolivia Prediction
The ball is in Colombia’s court and it’s in their hands to keep their hopes alive by a win in this match. Surely, the Tricolors have enough experience in their players to overcome such pressures. Thus we predict a Colombia win and will combine it with under 3.5 goals to fatten the odds.
Safe Bet
Colombia’s recent matches saw a very low number of goals. To be precise, in the last seven WCQ fixtures there were one or fewer goals. Consequently, the goals in the first half were also few. Therefore, we predict to see zero or one goal in the first half of this match, and with odds of 1.62, we consider it our safe bet option.
Quick Rich
The bet under 1.5 goals in each of the halves has odds of 3.30. To justify, that feat happened in all last seven matches of Colombia. Also in Bolivia’s six of their last eight WCQ fixtures under 1.5 goals were scored in each half. Hence we will back to see under 1.5 goals in each half which has odds of 3.30.
Colombia vs Bolivia First Goalscorer
Luis Muriel is Colombia’s top scorer in the World Cup qualifiers with three goals. Certainly, Muriel can be the answer to Colombia’s scoring problems. The 30-year-old is Atalanta’s best scorer and we predict for him to be the first goalscorer in this match.
