⚽ Best Bet of the Day: Bolivia vs Chile
Gerard Gabasa; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Football analyst at BettingTips4You
France Under-21 (-1) to win | |
5/6 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning France U21’s consistent tournament form, stronger depth in squad quality, and previous second-matchday performances, coupled with Georgia’s relative inexperience and injury concerns, significantly favour a French win. Les Bleuets are adept at breaking down resolute defences, suggesting clear advantages against opponents unfamiliar with sustained tournament pressure at this elevated competitive level.

🔢 Three Key Stats
- 🇨🇱 Chile have failed to score in six of their seven away qualifiers
- 🇧🇴 Miguel Terceros has contributed to 35.7% of Bolivia’s goals
- 🏟 Bolivia are unbeaten in their last five competitive matches at home
Rationale:
Tuesday night throws up a fascinating clash in South American World Cup qualifying, and Gerard Gabasa has zeroed in on Bolivia to win as the standout pick of the day. While many matches on the card today lack sharp betting angles, Bolivia’s match against a Chile side spiralling through a lacklustre campaign offers rare clarity.
La Verde, while mathematically alive in the qualification race, know that only three points will do if they are to keep even the slimmest hopes of a play-off place alive. Although their chances of finishing in the top six are faint, they remain just four points behind Venezuela in seventh, and will be desperate to narrow that gap with a victory in El Alto.
Despite not tasting success in their last six qualifying games, Bolivia have shown glimpses of resilience, and their recent performances have not been without merit. Miguel Terceros, who has scored five of Bolivia’s 14 goals in the campaign, continues to offer their most potent threat, and with Chile conceding regularly, the playmaker will be key in unlocking a fragile defence.
Chile, on the other hand, are already eliminated and have suffered through a torrid road record in this campaign. The visitors have collected just one point from their seven away qualifiers, failing to find the net in six of those fixtures. Ricardo Gareca’s men have not scored in five of their past six qualifying matches, with a 4-2 win over Venezuela now looking like an exception rather than the rule.
Alexis Sánchez’s experience still adds a layer of threat, but without Eduardo Vargas and Arturo Vidal, this Chile side lacks cutting edge and leadership. The absence of their talismanic figures and a demotivated camp make Bolivia clear favourites to capitalise, especially at altitude – a factor that has historically worked in the hosts’ favour.
Given Bolivia’s greater incentive, attacking shape, and Chile’s woeful travel record, backing La Verde to take all three points in front of their own supporters is a confident call.
