Uruguay will face Bolivia on Thursday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey as Group C action wraps up on matchday two of the Copa America 2024.
Uruguay started strong with a 3-1 victory over Panama, scoring two late goals to secure their win. Coach Marcelo Bielsa’s team played aggressively from the start, taking 11 shots in the first 20 minutes.
With a win against Bolivia and a favorable result in the USA vs. Panama match, Uruguay can secure a spot in the knockout stage for the third straight Copa America.
Bolivia, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to the USA in their opener. Antonio Carlos Zago’s team has struggled, conceding early goals in their last two.
If Bolivia loses and the USA wins or draws against Panama, Bolivia will be eliminated. They haven’t beaten Uruguay in this competition since 1997, making this a challenging match for them.
Expect Uruguay to come out strong as they aim to continue their winning streak and advance in the tournament, while Bolivia fights to keep their hopes alive.
