Game Preview

Óscar Villegas will be dreaming of taking Bolivia to their first World Cup group stage since 1994. The South American nation enjoyed one of their best-ever qualifying campaigns, winning six of their 17 matches, marking the most wins that they have achieved in a single campaign in their history.

That was enough for Bolivia to secure seventh in the standings. However, it is noteworthy that four of their victories were achieved on home soil, where Bolivia have a notable advantage due to the altitude being unsettling for travelling teams.

But, their quality did see them claim notable wins over high-ranking teams such as Brazil and Colombia.

Suriname will have their sights set on making history this week, as the nation has never previously reached the group stage of the FIFA World Cup. Plenty of positives can be taken from their qualifying performances in the CONCACAF region, winning five of their ten fixtures, and suffering just one defeat.

Offensive quality was evident throughout their matches, scoring 19 goals, marking the most that they have registered in a World Cup qualifying cycle.

Bolivia vs. Suriname Picks

Bolivia’s record away from their home country would be a major concern ahead of this playoff. Therefore, Suriname could be an interesting value option to keep their hopes of qualification alive.
