⚽ Football Copa América 2024 Match Preview

⏰ 2 July 2024 - 02:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadium: Inter&Co Stadium (Orlando, FL)

Bolivia's Copa América campaign has been disappointing, with their last tournament victory dating back nine years. Barring an unlikely swing in goal difference, they are set to exit at the group stage. Manager Antônio Carlos Zago will be particularly concerned about their performance, especially the 5-0 defeat against Uruguay on matchday two.

The Greens have faced a staggering 19 shots on target in their two group games while managing only four themselves. Their poor form extends beyond this tournament, with a current five-match losing streak and defeats in 11 of their last 12 competitive internationals (W1). This record gives little confidence ahead of their clash with Panama.

In contrast, Panama is aiming for their first-ever Copa América quarter-final appearance. Competing in the tournament for only the second time, Thomas Christiansen's side still has a chance to reach the knockout stages, thanks to a surprising 2-1 comeback victory against the United States.

Panama will progress if they better the tournament hosts' result in the final round. Despite the manager's call for calm, the team's recent form - winning nine of their last 14 matches (D1, L4) and four consecutive H2H victories against Bolivia - gives their fans reason for optimism.

⚡Match Facts:

• Panama has won 9 of their last 14 matches

💡Prediction: This match presents a stark contrast between a struggling Bolivia and an ascending Panama. Bolivia's defensive frailties and lack of offensive output suggest they'll face significant challenges. Panama, buoyed by their recent victory over the USA and their strong head-to-head record against Bolivia, will be confident of securing the result they need. Given Bolivia's tendency to concede early and Panama's motivation to progress, we can expect an aggressive start from the Canal Men. While Bolivia might show some pride in their final match, Panama's recent form and the high stakes should drive them to a victory, potentially securing their historic quarter-final berth.

Betting Tips:

• Panama to win
• Over 2.5 goals
• Both teams to score
• José Fajardo to score anytime
• Panama to score in both halves
• Under 4.5 corners for Bolivia
