Brazil and Bolivia face off in the World Cup Qualifiers 2018 on Thursday.

How times have changed. Once seen as major underachievers, Brazil has come back to re-establish itself as a soccer power to be taken seriously. No match was more potent in displaying this development than the team's 2-1 win over Colombia. That game saw the Samba Kings dominate the opposition at home and eventually record a winner through their top player, Neymar.

Neymar has looked revived since winning the Gold Medal with his nation at this summer's Olympics. He's had a great start for Blaugrana and was key to Brazil's two wins in the recent qualifiers.

Bolivia is on the outside of this qualifying campaign. That said, the team has earned points in two straight games, including a 0-0 draw in Chile to shut down the defending Copa America holders.

Prediction

Brazil should have little trouble winning this game. Look for a big performance from Neymar as he leads his team to a 5-0 win at home.

Start Time, Date, Location

Brazil and Bolivia kick off at 8:45 p.m. EDT on Thursday.
