Why Chile is a Good Bet Versus Uruguay
The Chileans are in great form. In five friendly matches, Chile shows 3 wins and 2 draws.

The win came against Paraguay 3-2, Cuba 3-0, and the Dominican Republic 5-0. The draws were against Slovakia way back on Nov. 20 last year and Bolivia in June.

Chile didn’t qualify for the last World Cup. So the team is not only in great form but will be ultra-motivated versus their South American rivals.

Why Uruguay is a Good Bet Versus Chile
Uruguay brings a 3-match winning streak into this. The Uruguayans followed up a 2-1 victory over South Korea with a 4-1 win against Nicaragua.

Then in their last, an international friendly on June 20, Uruguay dusted Cuba 2-0.

Final Betting Analysis: Uruguay vs Chile
Uruguay beat Chile 2-0 in the last head-to-head. The game happened on March 29, 2022, in a qualifier for the 2022 World Cup. Luis Suarez and Federico Valverde got the goals.

What’s important to understand about the win is that even though Suarez played a huge role, he no longer plays for Uruguay’s national team. Valverde does, though.

And so does Darwin Nunez and Maxi Gomez. So although Surez is no longer on the squad, Uruguay is deep enough to beat Chile. Uruguay’s money line is the play.

Brazil vs Bolivia

Handicap Line: Bolivia +3.5 -109 / Brazil -3.5 -116
Money Line: Bolivia +5200 / Brazil -3030 / Draw +1575
Match Total: O 4.5 +101 / U 4.5 -128

Where: Mangueirao, Belem, Brazil

Why Bolivia is a Good Bet Versus Brazil
Bolivia isn’t a good money line bet. But the overmatched team offers excellent odds to lose this game by no more than 3 goals. At +3.5 -109, Bolivia is a terrific bet.

The Bolivians have lost 3-of-5 with a draw and a win but the 3 losses were by a single goal: 1-0 versus Uzbekistan, 1-0 against Ecuador, and 2-1 versus Panama.

Why Brazil is a Good Bet Versus Bolivia
Based on form, Brazil shouldn’t be such a massive favorite. The Brazilians have lost 3-of-4 with a win.

But the losses, 1-1 via penalty kicks to Croatia, 2-1 against Morocco in an international friendly, and 2-4 against Senegal on June 20 in an international friendly doesn’t imply Brazil will struggle against Bolivia.

Brazil almost never puts forth their best effort when it comes to international friendlies. Brazil for sure will put their best foot forward on Friday.

Final Betting Analysis: Brazil vs Bolivia
Bolivia will play tough but they shouldn’t keep this close. Brazil should be at full strength, which means the great soccer nation will win this by multiple goals.

However, the handicap line favors Bolivia. Brazil wins, but they only win by 2 goals. It will be a surprise if Brazil beats Bolivia by 3 or more. So the best bet is on Bolivia at +3.5.
