Panama FC goes against Bolivia FC with aims of getting a win on their last match in the group stage, with aims of entering the knockout stage. Heading into this match, these two teams are not doing well in their group. Panama are currently at the third of the group, as they only have three points in their campaign. However, the job is not yet done for Panama, as they still have a chance for the next round with a win here. Meanwhile, Bolivia remains at the fourth of their group, as they remain to be winless in the contest. Due to this, Bolivia face early elimination in the contest, mainly because of their results. The meeting between these two teams is on July 2, 2024, at 9:00 AM (GMT+8).
Panama FC
Panama secured their first victory at the Copa America this year, overcoming an early setback. They accumulated 74% of possession, the most by any CONCACAF side at this tournament since Opta began collecting data in 2011. This victory ended a two-match losing run for Thomas Christiansen’s men across all competitions, giving them a realistic shot at making the knockout phase. The victory was the first time Panama came back to win despite conceding the opening goal since a 3-2 victory over Nicaragua in June 2023. However, Panama may need help from Uruguay to advance, as Los Canaleros have a -1-goal differential and the US are at +1. Monday’s match will be the seventh all-time meeting between Panama and Bolivia.
Panama will miss Adalberto Carrasquilla due to red-carding for a reckless challenge on Pulisic. Blackman scored first for the national team, while Fajardo won for Los Canaleros.
Bolivia FC
Bolivia’s hopes of making the knockout stage are not over, but they need a victory on Monday and Uruguay to defeat the US and have a seven-goal swing. Bolivia is currently on a 13-match losing run in Copa America group fixtures dating back to 2015. La Verde has struggled to find the back of the net in six Copa America group contests. If Bolivia fails to score in this match, it would be the first time since the 2001 Copa America that Bolivia concludes the group phase without scoring a goal. Bolivia has not beaten a CONCACAF opponent since a 2022 friendly against Trinidad and Tobago.
Bolivian lineup changes include six players, with Cuellar, Rocha, Cespedes, Terceros, Algaranaz, and Vaca in starting 11. Adalid Terrazas earns first international cap, replacing Algaranaz.
Prediction:
Panama (1.5)
