Chile and Bolivia return to action in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they lock horns at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos on Tuesday. Both sides head into the game off the back of contrasting results, with Oscar Villegas’ men claiming a resounding victory over Venezuela.
Chile failed to return to winning ways on Friday as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Argentina at the Estadio Mâs Monumental.
In the absence of Lionel Messi, Alexis Mac Allister, Juilan Alvarez and Paulo Dybala all scored second-half goals to fire Argentina to a comfortable victory.
This was in keeping with their disappointing performance in the Copa America back in June, when Chile suffered a group-stage exit from the continental showpiece after picking up just two points from their three matches in Group A.
Elsewhere, Bolivia turned in a performance of the highest quality as they thrashed Venezuela 4-0 at the Municipal Stadium El Alto on Thursday.
This was a much-needed victory for Villegas’ men, who had lost their previous six matches across all competitions, conceding 17 goals and scoring twice since the start of June.
Bolivia have picked up just six points from their seven games in the qualifiers to sit eighth in the table, one point and one place above Tuesday’s hosts.

- Chile have been the dominant side in the history of this fixture, having won 32 of the last 50 meetings between the two nations.

Chile vs Bolivia Prediction
