Bolivia vs Uruguay: prediction & betting odds 25 March 2025
Betting tips 25 March 2025
Just a few days ago, Uruguay were sitting second in the standings and on the brink of chasing down top spot. Now, after a narrow defeat, they’ve slipped to fourth — and with the table as tight as it is, even sixth is within striking range. Bolivia, on the other hand, are clinging to seventh, still in the hunt for a play-off place.
Uruguay missed a golden opportunity to cement their status among the leaders, falling 1:0 to Argentina at home. They managed just six shots (two on target) and barely created any meaningful chances. Sergio Rochet made several key saves, but was finally beaten by a long-range strike. Things will be different against Bolivia, of course: their players aren’t as skilled.
This clash takes place in El Alto, a Bolivian fortress 4,150 metres above sea level. Playing at such dizzying heights is a challenge in itself. It’s tough to breathe, let alone sprint, press and recover. And Bolivia use that to their full advantage. They've turned home matches into ambushes: unbeaten in four at elevation during this campaign (three wins and a draw). Their last defeat here in World Cup qualifying came against Ecuador (2:1), a team accustomed to playing at altitude themselves.
The Uruguayans, who are used to living at lower altitudes, will find it difficult. Their last meeting in the Andes ended in a 3:0 victory for the home side. That was even after they missed a penalty and received a red card. So, given this specific factor, we’re choosing a neutral handicap on Bolivia.
