Team Previews
Panama's hopes of advancing to the knockout stage in the 2024 Copa America hinge on their performance against Bolivia and results in other matches. Having secured a 2-1 victory over the United States, Panama sits just behind the US on goal difference in Group C. For Bolivia, their chances are slim after a heavy 5-0 defeat to Uruguay, leaving them at the bottom of the group without a point. To stay alive, Bolivia needs a victory over Panama, coupled with a substantial goal difference swing and a US defeat to Uruguay.
Bolivia's struggles in Copa America are evident, with a 13-match losing streak in group stage fixtures since 2015 and difficulties in scoring, having failed to net in six of their recent group games. They haven't defeated a CONCACAF opponent since a 2022 friendly against Trinidad and Tobago.
Panama, on the other hand, showed resilience in their win against the US, dominating possession and ending a two-match losing run. Despite missing Adalberto Carrasquilla due to suspension, they remain hopeful with key players like Cesar Blackman and Jose Fajardo stepping up. Historically, Panama has the upper hand against Bolivia, winning their last four encounters.
The match on Monday will be crucial, with both teams needing favorable results and performances to keep their Copa America dreams alive.
