In the new qualifying match, Uruguay welcomes Bolivia in a more than good mood. Since June, this team has been led by Bielsa from the bench and the effect is already noticeable. In that period, Uruguay played 7 games and they have only one defeat. They are currently in second place in the table with 10 points from 5 games and with 10 goals they are the most efficient team. In the last 2 games, they had probably the 2 toughest rivals from South America, Brazil and Argentina. The results and performance of those games give reason for optimism to all Uruguayan fans. They won both matches with 2-0. The victory over Brazil was particularly impressive, as they did not allow a single shot on goal, and during the entire game Brazil had only 1 shot. It is important to mention that Brazil played this match with the strongest team, which makes this result even more important. Uruguay have really great individuals in the team like Nunez, Araujo from Barcelona, Valverde, De Arrascaeta and I honestly believe that they have a really bright future. They are clear favorites in this match and I expect them to win convincingly without any major problems.

As for Bolivia, it is a team that is quite limited in terms of playing quality. The victories they achieve in qualifying matches are almost always on their home field. The reason for that is very simple, they play in La Paz, which is located at over 3500 meters above sea level, and almost all teams have problems adapting to the game in those conditions. Away games are a huge problem for Bolivia. In their last 66 away World Cup qualifiers, Bolivia have taken just nine points, as it is now over 30 years since their last competitive qualifying win outside of their home country - against Venezuela in 1993. Qualifying for the 2006 and 2018 World Cups saw Bolivia lose all nine away games, and history could repeat itself after two defeats to start here, and another difficult encounter to come. Although the format in the South American qualifiers has been changed and it is possible that there will be 7 teams from this continent at the World Cup, it is hard to expect that Bolivia will be among them. Bolivia has never won more than 4 of the 18 games played in the qualifiers. The difference in quality is without any dilemma for the Uruguay side and I expect that to be seen in this match.

在新的预选赛中，乌拉圭队以一种非常好的心情迎接玻利维亚队。自6月以来，这支球队一直由贝尔萨担任替补，效果已经很明显。在此期间，乌拉圭打了7场比赛，只输了一场。他们目前在积分榜上排名第二，5场比赛得到10分，10个进球是最有效率的球队。在过去的两场比赛中，他们可能遇到了来自南美的两个最强大的对手，巴西和阿根廷。这些比赛的结果和表现给了所有乌拉圭球迷乐观的理由。他们两场比赛都以2比0获胜。对巴西的胜利尤其令人印象深刻，因为他们没有让一次射门，在整场比赛中，巴西只有一次射门机会。值得一提的是，巴西与最强的球队进行了这场比赛，这使得这场比赛的结果更加重要。乌拉圭队中有很多很棒的球员，比如努涅斯、来自巴塞罗那的阿劳霍、巴尔韦德、德阿拉斯卡塔，我真的相信他们有一个光明的未来。在这场比赛中，他们显然是最受欢迎的球队，我希望他们能在没有任何重大问题的情况下取得令人信服的胜利。

至于玻利维亚，这是一支在比赛质量方面相当有限的球队。他们在预选赛中取得的胜利几乎都是在他们的主场。原因很简单，他们在海拔3500米以上的拉巴斯比赛，几乎所有的球队都很难适应这种条件下的比赛。客场比赛对玻利维亚来说是个大问题。在最近66场世界杯预选赛的客场比赛中，玻利维亚只拿到了9分，距离他们上一次在本国以外的比赛中获胜(1993年对阵委内瑞拉)已经过去了30多年。2006年和2018年世界杯预选赛中，玻利维亚队在客场输掉了全部9场比赛，历史可能会在两场失利后重演，而另一场艰难的比赛即将到来。尽管南美预选赛的赛制有所改变，可能会有7支来自该大陆的球队参加世界杯，但很难指望玻利维亚会在其中。在预选赛的18场比赛中，玻利维亚从未赢过4场以上。乌拉圭队在质量上的差异没有任何困难，我希望在这场比赛中可以看到这一点。
