Bolivia
The Bolivians are in last place having managed one draw and three defeats across their four matches, though it is worth noting that they have faced the top four in the current standings. They have scored five goals and conceded 12 goals.
An extra factor that needs to be taken into account for away teams playing in Bolivia is the higher altitude. The visiting team may struggle in comparison to the Bolivians, feeling more fatigued due to lower levels of oxygen as they are not accustomed to the conditions.
Venezuela
Venezuela are in eighth place with one win and three defeats in four games. They have scored two goals and conceded six.
The Venezuelans have never played in a World Cup and will be hoping that this will be their first time. However, they will have to improve significantly if they are to do so.

Bolivia vs Venezuela Predictions
This is a match between two teams of a similar level. Venezuela may be the slightly better team, having players with experience in European leagues, compared to the Bolivian players who have mostly played in their local league. We think it will be a game with plenty of chances and consider Venezuela the favourites.
The Bolivians have conceded more goals so far than any other team, but the Venezuelans have also conceded several goals when playing away. This leads us to believe that it could be a game of more than 2.5 goals total.
