Victor Caceres was forced to withdraw from the squad due to personal issues and there is every chance Jonathan Santana will replace him in the starting line-up.
Even if there are no major selection worries for coach Ramon Diaz, everything suggests he is set to make a number of changes to his starting XI.
Raul Bobadilla and Lucas Barrios are expected to be drafted into the side, with Richard Ortiz and Nelson Haedo Valdez likely to be dropped to the bench.
Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): A. Silva – B. Valdez, Da Silva, Aguilar, Samudio – Bobadilla, Rojas, Santana – Gonzalez, Barrios, Lezcano.

Coach Julio Baldivieso faces a genuine selection headache as Bolivia go into the match against Paraguay with a severely weakened squad.
Leonel Morales and Juan Carlos Arce are both suspended for the Paraguay clash, with Jorge Flores and Jhasmani Campos expected to replace them.
