Despite recent coaching changes, Brazil remains a highly regarded team in every competition they enter. The quality of their attacking stars clearly outshines the rest of South America.
On the other hand, Bolivia ended their World Cup 2022 qualifying campaign with a staggering 42 goals conceded. Their high-risk defensive approach often leaves them vulnerable, and it’s not very effective.
While Brazil is clearly superior to their opponents, they face the challenge of Neymar’s recent injury, which could hinder their attacking prowess and make it difficult to meet the bookmakers’ odds set at 4.25.
Additionally, Vinicius Junior is also nursing an injury from his time with Real Madrid, and he may not feature in this match.
Match Over/Under Prediction: Under 4.25
Analysis and Asian Handicap Prediction for Brazil vs. Bolivia

The recent friendly matches may not accurately reflect the team’s current form. Starting with the first match of their quest for the coveted title, they aim to show a positive outlook for their home fans.
