In the fifth round of the World Cup qualification tournament, a match between the national teams of Bolivia and Peru will take place at Estadio Hernando Siles on November 16. The game is scheduled to kick off at 21:00 Central European Time.

Bolivia

The Bolivian national team is considered one of the weakest teams in South America. The team has participated in the World Cup only three times, playing a total of six matches. Bolivia has only avoided defeat once, with an overall score of 1:20. However, Bolivia always puts up a fight, and points are not easily taken from them.

The new qualifying cycle started unsuccessfully for Bolivia, with four defeats and an overall score of 2:11, placing them at the bottom of the group. It's fair to note that Bolivia faced the strongest teams on the continent, Argentina and Brazil. However, they also lost to more modest teams like Ecuador and Paraguay.

Peru

The Peruvian national team made a breakthrough five years ago, with players like Guerrero and Farfan leading them to a return to the World Cup. Before 2018, Peru had not qualified for the World Cup since 1982. Although they looked good and did not advance past the group stage in 2018, they continued their next qualification at the same level, finishing fifth and entering playoff matches. They played against Australia, and after a 0-0 draw in regular and extra time, the South Americans lost in the penalty shootout.

The new qualification cycle started poorly for Peru with one draw and no goals scored in four matches. However, the losses were against top teams on the continent: Chile, Brazil, and Argentina.

Interesting facts about the match and the history of head-to-head meetings

• Bolivia has a series of five consecutive defeats.
• Peru has won only one match this calendar year, a friendly against the South Korea national team.
• The teams have not played to a draw since 2013.

Prediction

Bookmakers slightly favor the home team, but both teams have shown discouraging results lately. I believe it won't be a high-scoring game, and I'll bet on the total under 2.5.
