Oscar Tabarez will have been frustrated to have been held to a draw on Thursday and will demand a response this weekend - though he may well resist wholesale changes.
In the absence of big faces such as Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, Joaquin Piquerez and David Terans both picked up debuts last time out - with Agustín Alvarez and Federico Martinez among those in the frame for first caps this weekend too.
Predicted Uruguay starting XI: Muslera; Nandez, Gimenez, Godin, Vina; Valverde, Vecino, Bentancur; De Arrascaeta, Gomez, B. Rodriguez.
| Position | Bolivia roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Lampe, Cordano, Gutierrez* |
| Defenders | Bejarano, Sagredo, Haquin, Jusino, Fernandez, Quinteros, Sagredo, Reyes, Alvarez* |
| Midfielders | Chumacero, Justiniano, Saavedra, Wayar, R. Vaca, Saucedo, H. Vaca, Villarroel, Villamil* |
| Forwards | Martins, Arce, Alvarez, Ramallo, Algaranaz, Chura, Flores* |
*denotes uncapped player
With a near-three decade drought from the World Cup, La Verde still remain firmly in with a shout of a shock surprise - but they will need to take a major scalp, such as their hosts, sooner rather than later.
Cesar Farías - who previously took Venezuela to a fourth-place finish at the 2011 Copa America - will hope that his underdogs can prove to be a banana skin in Montevideo.
Predicted Bolivia starting XI: Lampe; Bejarano, Haquin, Jusino, Fernandez; Saavedra, Justiniano, Villarroel, R. Vaca; Alvarez, Chura.
