Editorial and Predictions

Brazil’s storied football history, including their record of five World Cup titles, makes them a clear favorite to qualify from the South American section and potentially go all the way in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

With Brazil’s reputation and talent on their side, it is expected that they will start their qualification campaign with a win against Bolivia. In the previous qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup, Brazil comfortably defeated Bolivia home and away, with an aggregate score of 9-0. Therefore, all signs point to Brazil claiming another victory in this encounter.

Based on this analysis, the predicted scoreline for the Brazil vs. Bolivia match is 3-0 in favor of Brazil. While Bolivia will certainly put up a fight, the difference in quality and experience between the two sides is significant.

In terms of odds, BetMGM (USA) offers -3333 for a Brazil win, +1350 for a draw, and +3000 for a Bolivia win. The odds indicate that bookmakers expect Brazil to dominate the match. Additionally, the absence of both teams to score is indicated, with the over/under 2.5 goals set at -233/+160.

In conclusion, as Brazil commences its journey towards the 2026 World Cup, expectations are high for a successful campaign. The match against Bolivia provides an opportunity for Brazil to showcase its football prowess and maintain its record of being the only nation to have qualified for every edition of the tournament since 1930.
