(Reuters) - Uruguay's shock 3-0 defeat by Bolivia on Tuesday has left their fans bracing for what could be a dramatic final four matches in South American World Cup qualifying.

The result meant it was the first time Uruguay lost four qualifying games in a row and the team featuring Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani sit seventh in the table with 16 points from 14 games and in real danger of missing next year's finals in Qatar.

Brazil and Argentina have already qualified, while Ecuador are third with a six-point lead over Colombia and Peru in fourth and fifth. Uruguay are tied with Chile on points but have a dismal goal difference of -7. Although Uruguay have suffered in qualifying, the two-times champions have had good results in the previous three World Cup finals, reaching the semi-finals in 2010, the last-16 in 2014 and the quarter-finals in 2018.
