As part of the 4th round of the group stage of the Copa America, Bolivia and Uruguay will meet. Will the Uruguayans be able to win the first victory?
Bolivia
Two rounds before the end of the group stage Bolivia closes the Group A standings with no points scored. In the first round, Bolivia was weaker than Paraguay (1-3), and in the second round they lost minimally to Chile (0-1). Despite the two misfires, the Bolivians still have a chance of reaching the playoffs, but for this it is necessary to beat Uruguay first, and at least not lose to Argentina in the final round.
Uruguay
In principle, nothing critical has happened for Uruguay. He played with two of the strongest opponents out of four: he lost 0-1 to Argentina and shared points with Chile (1-1). Now it is necessary to win at least a victory over Bolivia and be guaranteed to reach the playoffs. If in the game with Argentina, Uruguay modestly acted in attack, then with the Chileans it should have scored at least two goals, but it was limited to only one.
Statistics and figures:
- Bolivia has two defeats after two rounds;
- Uruguay has not won yet: defeat and draw;
- Bolivia won against Uruguay in one of the last 12 matches.
Forecast
Uruguay is a head stronger, so it is definitely not necessary to count on Bolivia to win in the reporting confrontation. I believe that Suarez and company will again be persistent and sharp in attack, and this time they will score more than one goal.
