Preview
Paraguay face Bolivia in their opening match of the Copa America 2020 championship on Tuesday.
The White and Red side come into this contest on the back of a goalless draw and a loss against Paraguay and Uruguay.
They have won just one of their last five matches and need some sort of momentum in this competition; if they look to achieve progress.
Bolivia on the other hand played 2 WC 2022 Qualification matches against Venezuela and Chile ahead of this contest.
A victory and a stalemate may not be the best results but it gives them confidence ahead of their opener against Paraguay.
It is set to be a close contest between two sides finding their feet.
The last time the two sides faced each other; it was a 2-2 draw with Romero scoring a brace for Paraguay while Moreno and Cespedes struck for Bolivia.

Neither side have shown consistency and lack momentum with recent results.
Hence, we do not see much in terms of goals and expect a stalemate.

Players to watch out for: Almiron, Balbuena, Moreno and Ibanez.
