BOLIVIA PREVIEW: BACK-TO-BACK WINS
After losing their first four CONMEBOL qualifiers, Bolivia have now won three of their last four, including both fixtures last month – wins over Venezuela and Chile. They were the only South American nation to win both of their qualifiers in September.
Their victory over Chile in Santiago was a monumental one as it was their first away victory in South American qualifying since 1993, and their first competitive away win in the 21st century.
COLOMBIA PREVIEW: UNBEATEN IN QUALIFYING
Unbeaten Colombia are just two points behind leaders Argentina heading into October’s round of fixtures, and indeed recorded a 2-1 victory over the world champions in their most recent CONMEBOL qualifier last month.
Los Cafeteros tend to keep things very tight away from home, having conceded just once on their travels in the four away qualifiers to date.

BOLIVIA VS COLOMBIA PREDICTION
After a poor start to qualifying, Bolivia look completely rejuvenated since Oscar Villegas took charge in July, winning both of their games under his guidance, including last month’s first first away win in World Cup qualifying for 31 years.
Colombia are a step up in class though, with Nestor Lorenzo’s side currently unbeaten in the CONMEBOL section and coming off the back of a 2-1 win over reigning Copa America and world champions Argentina last month.
The visitors will keep things tight, as is their general approach to away games, and there is a strong chance that this will be a relatively low-scoring game at high altitude.
BOLIVIA VS COLOMBIA TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
