Uruguay v Bolivia Thursday 23.59 CET

We head to New Jersey for an all-South American tie as Uruguay take on Bolivia.

Uruguay bossed Panama for long periods and fully deserved their 3-1 win. Typical Bielsa ball as they rained shots on the Bolivian goal. That takes their recent record to 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Bolivia was second best for the entire game in their 2-0 loss to USA in Texas. Laboured and with very little attacking quality. That takes their recent record to 1 win and 6 losses (the win to very poor Andorra)

Team news: Ronald Araujo suffered dehydration in the 1st game and may not be risked here. No injury or suspension worries for Bolivia.

Head-to-head statistics: 12 games 8 wins Uruguay, 2 draws and 2 wins Bolivia.

Betting selection – Odds are shortening on Uruguay all the time and stand around 1.13 or 1-7 just to win. Bolivia is very weak and not dangerous at all. We have to look away from 1×2 and handicap seems high at -2.25 so I prefer Uruguay win to nil at 1.80 or 4-5 Skybet.
