Scotland vs Bolivia World Cup Warm-Up in Harrison, New Jersey
Scotland vs Bolivia World Cup Warm-Up in Harrison

Harrison, New Jersey hosts this warm-up match for Steve Clarke's Scotland as they prepare for the World Cup. This is the final friendly before their opening group game against Haiti, a week from now. It provides a chance to acclimatise to the conditions and get used to the environment. Expect to see plenty of substitutions, and hope for no more injuries after Billy Gilmour was ruled out last week.

Bolivia's World Cup Absence

Bolivia are not one of the 48 finalists, having lost to Iraq in the intercontinental playoffs. They were last at a World Cup final in 1994, and it's been a long time since the days of Erwin "Platini" Sanchez and Marco Etcheverry, the latter a legend of MLS lore. This match is a valuable opportunity for Bolivia to test themselves against a World Cup-bound side.

Scotland's Return to the World Cup

Scotland are back at the World Cup for the first time since 1998, and this is the last step before their opener against Haiti. The team will be looking to build momentum and finalise their preparations under Steve Clarke. Kick-off is 9pm Scotland time / 4pm Eastern time.
