Preview

  • Match: Bolivia vs Panama
  • Tournament: Copa America
  • Date: Tuesday, July 2
  • Kick-off Time: 02:00 am GMT
  • Venue: Inter & Co Stadium, United States

Bolivia’s national football team will face the Panama national football team in their final group game of Copa America at the Inter & Co Stadium in the United States. This will be the first time both sides meet each other in a major international competition since Copa America 2016.

Bolivia will aim for a positive outcome on Tuesday against a side that will are now second favourites to top the group. They are coming off a disappointing 5-0 loss to Uruguay in their last game. They have been drawn alongside Uruguay, the USA and Panama. They have now lost their last seven out of the last nine matches in all competitions and are the lowest-seeded in Copa America this year. Bolivia will be looking to find their first goal of the tournament.

Meanwhile, the Panama national football team secured a surprising 2-1 victory in their last game. A win against Bolivia will confirm their spot in the quarter-finals of Copa America 2024. They also made a solid start to their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign, winning two of their qualifiers. Panama should be able to find the back of the net and move further deep into the competition.

Bolivia vs Panama Prediction

Bolivia national football team, meanwhile, will find it difficult to get past Paraguay in their next and final group game of the competition. They are the the lowest-seeded team in CONMEBOL and very little is expected from them in this competition. They succumbed to a 5-0 loss to Uruguay and a 2-0 loss to the USA in their last two games of the competition.

Panama national football team have been labeled as one of the dark horses for Copa America this summer. They are coming off a 2-1 win over USA and have a decent chance to secure a spot in the quarter-finals. This will be their second appearance in a Copa America tournament after participating in the Centenario edition of the competition in 2016.

Predicted Score: Bolivia 0-2 Panama
