It is time for tournament hosts USA to enter the fray and they will do so against a game versus Bolivia. This will mark the 5th time they play in the Copa America and they will be hoping to improve their best-ever performance there – reaching the semi-finals. For Bolivia, recent history has not been on their side but the nation will be hoping for a miracle to reach the knockout phase.
USA Team News
While the USA will have the advantage of the tournament being played on their turf, results in recent months haven’t lived up to the required standards. With just 4 wins in the last 10 fixtures, there is room for improvement. Before the start of the tournament, the USA played friendly games with Colombia and Brazil, which ended in a 1-5 trashing against the former and a prestigious 1-1 draw against the latter. Still, the team won the CONCACAF Nations League in March for the third time making them no strangers to silverware.
Bolivia Team News
Bolivia’s disastrous run of form continues as the team has just 2 wins in their last 10 fixtures with the remaining 8 ending in defeat. The friendlies played by them against Colombia and Ecuador further solidified this as both matches were lost by Bolivia with 3 goals conceded in both games by them. But going back we will see that this bad form often leads to defeats for the team in games where they even fail to score. The games where Bolivia failed to get off the mark amount for 5 from the last 10. With a tough group featuring Uruguay, the USA and Panama, chances to progress seem slim at best.
Head-to-Head-Games
These two teams have met a total of 3 times. Bolivia has one 1 game, while the USA 2. Though the last 2 games were won by the US, they were held in 2016 and 2018, respectively. Still, they were won by The Stars and Stripes to nil.
USA – Bolivia Betting Prediction
I expect there to be some buzz surrounding this game as the USA is the host nation. They will want to get off to a good start here as their group is already tough enough and points here will be mandatory. Against Bolivia, I do not expect the US to have any real issues as La Verde is in woeful form. Thus, my pick here is for the USA to win and both teams to score – no.
