Scotland will hope to complete their World Cup preparations with another confidence-boosting win when taking on Bolivia in New Jersey on Saturday. They put a couple of March friendly defeats against Japan and Ivory Coast behind them by beating Curacao 4-1 last weekend.
This is another good chance to build up some momentum, so 20/21 for Steve Clarke’s side to win and over 2.5 total goals in the game is our first Bolivia vs Scotland prediction.

La Verde missed out on making a first World Cup appearance since 1994 but performed with credit in their qualifying campaign. Bolivia finished seventh in the South American section , one spot below securing an automatic place in the finals.
They registered six wins and two draws from 18 matches, notably claiming a 1-0 home victory over Brazil in last September’s final round of fixtures. Suriname were beaten 2-1 in the first round of inter-confederation play-offs, but a loss to Iraq by the same scoreline in Mexico ended Bolivia’s World Cup dreams.
Head coach Oscar Villegas has brought through some promising youngsters, including 22-year-old attacking midfielder Miguel Terceros , who plays for Brazilian side Santos , and 18-year-old forward Moises Paniagua , who has been linked with a move to Europe.
Terceros struck from the penalty spot against Brazil and 7/2 for him to reach double figures in terms of international goals here has appeal. Paniagua netted in both World Cup play-off matches and 4/1 for him to score at any time will also attract some support in Bolivia vs Scotland betting tips.
Scotland form guide
The Tartan Army are back on the world stage for the first time in 28 years and looking forward to group-stage games against Haiti, Morocco and Brazil . Scotland qualified in dramatic fashion as November’s 4-2 triumph over Denmark allowed them to leapfrog their opponents at the top of a pool which also featured Greece and Belarus.
Scotland’s appearances in the last two Euro finals drew stinging criticism, but proven performers such as John McGinn, Andy Robertson and Scott McTominay provide hope of making progress through to the knockout stages this summer.
Clarke’s side came from behind to claim victory versus Curacao through a strike from teenage winger Findlay Curtis, a Lawrence Shankland double and a Ryan Christie penalty after their opponents had former Brighton forward Jurgen Locadia sent off in the first half.
The head coach seems determined to establish a feelgood factor prior to the serious business starting next week, so Scotland are expected to be on the front foot throughout this contest. A BOYLE Sports price boost of 2/1 for them to win and both teams to score is of interest from the Bolivia vs Scotland odds, while 10/3 for the in-form Shankland to break the deadlock is fair value.
The powerful striker finished the season strongly for Hearts after recovering from a lengthy injury and celebrated securing a move to Rangers with that brace versus Curacao .
