JAKARTA Uruguay had a good opportunity to beautify their journey in the Conmebol 2026 World Cup Qualifiers when they arrived by the visitors, Bolivia.
The second fight will take place at Centenario Stadium, Montevideo, Uruguay, on Wednesday, November 22, 2023. The start of this match starts at 06.30 WIB.
Uruguay played this match after defeating the Argentine world champion last week. Because of that, they are really seeded against Bolivia which is currently still slumped.
A week before winning over Argentina in Buenos Aires last week, Uruguay had already beaten another South American giant, Brazil, at Centenario on October 18, 2023.
Two of the latest wins that ended one defeat and one draw before that made Uruguay now sit in second place in the qualifying standings with a collection of 10 points.

Uruguay started the qualification by beating Chile. They then lost against Ecuador before rising to steal seven points in a draw against Colombia and two wins over the two giants above.
Uruguay is in second place and is only two points away from Argentina in the top of the standings. If consistent then La Celeste has the fifth chance of appearing in a row at the World Cup.
Meanwhile, Bolivia, which they will face, has only got three points from five matches. Therefore, Uruguay needs to take advantage of the opportunity to add three points in this match.
On Bolivian paper, it should be an easy opponent for Marcelo Bielsa's squad. Moreover, their guest is one of the team with the worst away record in international football.
They only got nine points in their last 66 away games in World Cup qualifiers. Their last win in an away match for competitive qualification has been 30 years since beating Venezuela in 1993.
However, last week's home win against Peru should give Bolivia confidence. That was their only win after four defeats in the previous game.
