Bolivia vs Uruguay prediction for Thursday’s Copa America clash at Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá, Brazil. Bottom of the Group A table Bolivia still looking for the first point as they face Uruguay who have one point from two matches. Follow on for our free prediction and betting tips.
Bolivia needs three points at all costs
Two defeats in as many games in the Copa America 2021 has put Bolivia on the verge of being eliminated from the first round. They still have to play Uruguay and Argentina which are considered very tough matches. If Bolivia don’t win their match against Uruguay, they will almost surely end their participation in the Copa from the first round.
The two teams were supposed to play earlier this year in the World Cup Qualification but the match was postponed. Bolivia have beaten Uruguay just once in their last ten H2H meetings and that was back in 2012. Coach Farias needs to sort out his defense as they have conceded in every match in their last 20 outings in all competitions.
Bolivia Key Points
A much better offensive performance needed by Uruguay
Luis Suarez and Edson Cavani need to step up and help their team register their first win of the Copa America 2021 if they want to challenge for the top two places off Group A. Both strikers have struggled with their national team in the last five matches as they haven’t scored in any of them despite being in good form with their clubs throughout the season.
The only goal La Celeste scored in the Copa was against Chile in the last match through an own goal by Vidal. That was the only goal to Oscar Tabarez’s team’s account in their last four matches. They have been struggling offensively in the Copa with no shots on target against Argentina and just one against Chile.
Uruguay key Points
Bolivia vs Uruguay Prediction
Uruguay played against the toughest teams of Group A and although they have just one point from two games, their next two matches are supposed to be easier and will give them the chance to raise their tally of points to challenge for the second place.
Bolivia look to be the weakest team of group A and with a tough match still to play against Argentina, this is a must-win game against Uruguay. They have been scoring regularly in recent matches and we think they will risk it to find the goal in this match.
Despite Uruguay’s bad goal drought record recently, we think they will find their scoring touch in this match. BTTS is a very good bet at Vbet with odds of 2.50 but that depends on Bolivia’s scoring capability as they have been scoring regularly in recent matches.
