Panama will need to beat Bolivia to have any hope of reaching the quarterfinals of the 2024 Copa America. However, winning alone is not enough. Coach Thomas Christiansen's team needs the US not to beat Uruguay.
Panama and the US have the same 3 points but a different goal difference (-1 vs 1), so Panama must try to win as big as possible to take second place in the group.
This may not be too difficult a task as Bolivia have been in very poor form recently. They are currently on a 13-match losing streak in the Copa America group stage since 2015. During that time, Bolivia have struggled to find the back of the net.
Antonio Carlos Zago's side have failed to score in their last six Copa America group stage games. If they continue to struggle in this match, it will be the first time Bolivia have finished the group stage without scoring a goal since the 2001 Copa America.
Of Bolivia's 10 shots at Copa America 2024, 8 came from outside the box (80%), showing that their strikers were very stuck in their attacks.
Head to head record
The two teams have only met once before at the Copa America in 2016, in Panama's debut match. They won 2-1 against Bolivia. Panama have won all four of their last meetings with the same opponent.
Expected lineup
Bolivia: Almada; Cuellar, Haquin, Jo. Sagredo; Suarez, Justiniano, Villamil, Je. Sagredo; Terceros, Ramallo, Vaca.
Panama: Mosquera; I. Anderson, Miller, Cordoba; Murillo, Ayarza, Martinez, Davis; Yanis, Fajardo, Diaz.
The match between Bolivia and Panama takes place at 8:00 a.m. on July 2 (Vietnam time).
