Brazil will look to end their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign on a high note when they travel to Bolivia on Tuesday.
Carlo Ancelotti's men have nothing to play for, having already qualified for next year's World Cup (meaning they will have competed in each rendition of the tournament); however, they would like to put up a strong display as they did in their 3-0 win over Paraguay.
On the other hand, Bolivia need all three points if they want to have any chance of qualifying for next year's World Cup, with a win possibly pushing them to the qualifying playoffs. The odds are certainly against them as they haven't defeated Brazil in nearly 16 years.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
