Bolivia host Gambia looking to halt five-match losing run

Five straight defeats

Bolivia's recent record offers no encouragement. They have lost all five matches in the sequence held, conceding fourteen goals without scoring once across defeats to Argentina, Paraguay, Algeria, Scotland and Iraq. The run stretches back to April and has yet to show a sign of reversal. Gambia's trajectory points the other way: three wins from five, including a 4-2 victory over Ghana in their most recent outing and a 2-1 win against Somalia before that. The one defeat in that span came against Senegal in March.

Monday morning in Santa Cruz

Kick-off is set for 01:30 on Monday at the Estadio Ramón Tahuichi. Lineups had not been announced at the time of writing. The fixture sits outside the competitive calendar, and neither side carries the momentum of a league campaign or qualifying sequence into it, but the contrast in recent results will shape the mood in both camps.
