Preview
Uruguay lock horns with Bolivia in their next match of the Copa America 2021 having not won a single match this time around.
Suarez and Co are 4th in the table while Bolivia are at the bottom with a difference of one point between the two.
A loss to Argentina followed by a stalemate against Chile did not give them the best start to the campaign. Hence, this contest becomes extremely crucial in the race for qualification.
Bolivia, on the other hand lack any form and have lost both their matches against Paraguay 3-1 and Chile 1-0.
La Verde and La Celeste need the win today due to which this contest could well decide the fate of one side from the competition.
The two sides last faced each other in 2017 as part of the World Cup Qualification campaign where Uruguay won 4-2.
Cáceres, Cavani and a Suarez brace guided Uruguay’s win. Whereas, they played a part in Bolivia’s 2 goals as well with Silva and Godin scoring own goals.
Bolivia will be needing the win more as they are yet to open their account in the Copa America 2021.
It’s a contest between two inconsistent sides as we expect a cagey affair.
