Bolivia and Algeria meet at Brann Stadion in Bergen on June 10 in a late-evening international friendly. Algeria arrive in considerably better shape, carrying momentum from a 1-0 win over the Netherlands just days ago, while Bolivia are still recovering from a 0-4 hammering at the hands of Scotland. Coach Vladimir Petkovic has built a tactically disciplined side that can grind out results against strong opposition, which makes this matchup particularly one-sided on paper. Watch Nabil Bentaleb in Algeria’s midfield, as he was the only player to complete 90 minutes with a goal contribution in the last game, and keep an eye on Mohamed Amoura up front, who led the Algerians in shot attempts against the Netherlands.
Hot stat: Algeria scored 7 goals in a single match against Guatemala just weeks ago, signaling their attack can be ruthless when given space against weaker opposition.

Bolivia vs Algeria Prediction
Algeria are the clear pick here. Their recent form across five matches includes a win over the Netherlands, a 7-0 rout of Guatemala, and a 1-0 victory over D.R. Congo. Bolivia, by contrast, have lost four of their last five recorded matches, including a 0-4 defeat to Scotland and a 1-2 loss to Iraq. The gap in quality is reflected in the odds and justified by the stats.
Algeria average fewer fouls per game than Bolivia and maintain better passing discipline under pressure. Bolivia committed 13 fouls in their last match alone, suggesting a side that struggles to contain opposition through positional play and resorts to physical intervention. Algeria’s 9 fouls across the same sample indicates a more controlled, possession-based approach that could suffocate Bolivia’s already limited attacking output. Bolivia managed just 7 total shots in their last game and failed to score, so expecting them to trouble Petkovic’s backline is optimistic.
We predict Algeria to win comfortably, with the match staying relatively tight in terms of corners and both teams scoring being unlikely given Bolivia’s recent attacking drought.

Team Analysis
Bolivia have had a difficult June window. Under coach Óscar Villegas, they collected just one win in six matches this year, and their last outing ended in a 0-4 loss to Scotland on June 5. The Scots, despite sitting below the top tier of international football, exposed Bolivia’s defensive fragility and inability to build from the back. Earlier in the window, Bolivia did beat Suriname 2-1 and Trinidad and Tobago 3-0, but those results came against significantly weaker opposition. The 1-2 defeat to Iraq in a previous camp further highlights the inconsistency. Bolivia’s form string over 15 matches reads as mostly losses and draws, with wins clustered against low-ranked sides.
Algeria have been the more convincing side across their recent fixtures. The 1-0 win over the Netherlands on June 5 was their standout result, with Anis Hadj Moussa providing the decisive goal. Before that, they drew 0-0 with Uruguay, a match where Algeria showed defensive solidity against a South American side. The 7-0 destruction of Guatemala in the same camp demonstrated their attacking ceiling. Earlier this year, they beat D.R. Congo 1-0 but suffered a 0-2 defeat to Nigeria, a result that remains the only real blemish in an otherwise strong 2026 campaign. Petkovic rotates his squad heavily in friendlies, but the quality runs deep.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Algeria the Favourite
- Moneyline Bolivia 12.50 | Algeria 1.22
- Draw 6.00
- Over/Under Over 2.5 — | Under 2.5 —
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes — | No —
Algeria at 1.22 is short, but given Bolivia’s current form and attacking output, it is a fair reflection of the matchup. Bolivia at 12.50 is not value; their only wins this year came against Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. The draw at 6.00 is tempting if you believe Algeria will struggle to break Bolivia down, but Algeria’s quality in the final third and Bolivia’s defensive frailty make a goalless draw unlikely. The best value sits in the Asian handicap markets, where Algeria -1.5 could offer a worthwhile return given their recent demolition of similarly ranked opposition.

Possible Starting Lineups
Bolivia Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Guillermo Viscarra
- DF: Luis Haquin, Roberto Fernández, Efrain Morales, lucas macazaga
- MF: Ervin Vaca, Robson Matheus, Gabriel Villamil, Carlos Melgar
- FW: Miguelito, Moises Paniagua Leaño
Bolivia are likely to set up in a 4-3-3 or compact 4-2-3-1 shape, with Villegas prioritizing defensive organization. Guillermo Viscarra made four saves in the last match and is the more experienced of the two goalkeepers in the squad. Roberto Fernández is a player to watch despite his yellow card record, as he contributes defensively with interceptions and set-piece involvement. Robson Matheus provides the most passing output from midfield and will be key to any attempt Bolivia make to build possession.
Algeria Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Luca Zidane
- DF: Zinéddine Belaïd, Aïssa Mandi, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Mohamed Amine Tougai
- MF: Nabil Bentaleb, Fares Chaibi, Ibrahim Maza
- FW: Mohamed Amoura, Anis Hadj Moussa, Amine Gouiri
Algeria will likely deploy their preferred 4-3-3, with Petkovic expected to rotate given the friendly context. Luca Zidane made six saves against the Netherlands and held a clean sheet, making him the probable starter. Nabil Bentaleb anchors the midfield with his passing range and game management. Up front, Mohamed Amoura is the player to watch, as he led Algeria in shot attempts in the last match and carries a direct, pace-driven threat. Anis Hadj Moussa scored the winner against the Netherlands and could feature again from the left flank.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Algeria are the stronger side on every measurable metric heading into this match. Their win over the Netherlands, combined with Bolivia’s 0-4 defeat to Scotland, creates a gap that is hard to bridge in a single game. Bolivia have not scored in their last match, registered just 7 shots, and committed 13 fouls, suggesting a side under sustained pressure with no real attacking outlet. Algeria’s midfield, led by Bentaleb, controls tempo effectively, and their front three has the individual quality to create and finish chances.
We predict Algeria to win 2-0 or 3-0, with Bolivia failing to score for the second consecutive match. The clean sheet market for Algeria offers the best combination of value and probability, and under 3.5 total goals is a sensible secondary bet given the friendly format and likely rotation from both benches.
