Bolivia and Scotland meet for the first time ever in a friendly on neutral ground at the Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey.
Bolivia head into this fixture still smarting from their World Cup qualification playoff defeat to Iraq, ending their hopes of reaching the 2026 tournament.
Scotland, meanwhile, are using this outing as their final warm-up before a first World Cup appearance since 1998, keen to build momentum ahead of the group stage.
With no previous meetings between these sides, this is uncharted territory, but Scotland will fancy themselves as strong favourites given the gulf in ranking and form.
Bolivia vs Scotland Form
Bolivia's recent form reads two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last five outings. They have averaged 1.4 goals scored per match across that run, but their World Cup qualification campaign ended in heartbreak after falling to Iraq in the playoffs.
Scotland bounced back from consecutive 1-0 friendly defeats in March with a thumping 4-1 win over Curacao on 30 May. They topped their UEFA qualifying group to reach the World Cup, highlighted by a 4-2 victory over Denmark, showing real attacking bite when the occasion demands it.

Over 2.5 Total Goals at 5/7 with Bet365. Bolivia's defensive record shows they have conceded regularly in recent outings, and Scotland's squad depth and attacking options across the pitch make a high-scoring affair look likely.

Bolivia vs Scotland Talking Points
The biggest talking point here is what this fixture means for each side. Scotland enter ranked 43rd by FIFA, 33 places above Bolivia at 76th, and this match represents their last chance to fine-tune ahead of the World Cup. For Bolivia, sitting outside the tournament means this is about pride and rebuilding under pressure, with a chance to show the wider football world they remain a force in South American football. Playing on a neutral pitch in the USA gives Scotland a useful dress rehearsal for the conditions they will face during the group stage. The intensity could be a notch above a typical friendly, with Scotland desperate to build confidence and Bolivia determined to prove a point after a bruising end to their qualification campaign.
