Bolivia vs. Brazil: Head-to-head record and past meetings

 

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 34

Bolivia wins: 6

Draws: 4

Brazil wins: 24

As one of the powerhouses of international football, Brazil have unsurprisingly been the dominant force in their previous 34 meetings with Bolivia, recording 24 victories and losing on just six occasions.

The two nations had the honour of being two of the 13 teams in the inaugural World Cup in 1930, which saw Brazil claim an emphatic 4-0 win in a group-stage fixture against Bolivia.

That proved to be the start of a six-game winning run before Bolivia claimed their first victory with an eye-catching 5-4 scoreline in the 1963 South American Championships.

The last time that the two countries faced off in a tournament was at the 2019 Copa America, when Philippe Coutinho netted twice in a 3-0 victory for Brazil.

That result kicked off a run of four consecutive wins against Bolivia, including a 5-1 victory in a World Cup qualifying clash in September 2023. 

On that occasion, Neymar and Rodrygo both celebrated braces alongside a Raphinha effort, making it seven games without defeat since losing to Bolivia in October 2009. 

However, Brazil's unbeaten run came to an end in their most recent encounter in September 2025, when Miguelito scored a decisive penalty in a 1-0 victory to secure Bolivia a place in the inter-confederation playoffs for the 2026 World Cup. 

Neymar is the second-highest scorer in this fixture with five goals in as many appearances, while Brazilian legend Zico leads the way with eight goals to his name. 

Zico and Neymar have helped their country amass 113 goals against Bolivia, while Brazil have only conceded 26 times across their 33 encounters.
