We said: Brazil 5-0 Bolivia

 Brazil's incredible record of having never lost a home World Cup qualifier should come under no threat from a Bolivia side which is notoriously woeful away from La Paz. With no wins in 64 away qualifiers, Bolivia are extremely unlikely to halt that dreadful record against one of the powerhouses of international football, and another hefty defeat at the hands of Brazil is on the cards.
