Brazil vs Bolivia: Storylines
There isn’t much that we could say about Brazil’s national team that hadn’t been said before. They have one of the most talented squads in the world and will always be near the top of the list of candidates to win it all.
Led by a more mature Neymar and a well-balanced team in every sector of the pitch, the Brazilians hope this FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers to be a cakewalk and secure yet another berth in the ultimate stage rather sooner than later.
Bolivia can’t say the same thing, as they’ve mightily struggled to keep up with the rest of the continent in recent years. This time, however, their hopes are high as coach César Farías has put together an interesting group for the qualifiers.
Once again, the Bolivians will be led by historical striker Marcelo Moreno Martins, who’ll hope to penetrate Brazil’s rock-solid defense with his great feel for aerial duels. Obviously, that’ll be easier said than done.
