Uruguay vs Bolivia Prediction & Picks - Copa America
by Stephen Abiola | in Copa America Picks
Uruguay and Bolivia will meet on Matchday 2 in Group C, along with the USA and Panama. Uruguay is among the favorites to top the group alongside the USMNT and advance to the knockout stages. Historically, Uruguay and Argentina are the joint most successful sides in Copa America, with 15 titles apiece. They have every reason to believe they can break the tie, especially after finding themselves in a favorable group. They won 3-1 against Panama in their first group match.
Bolivia has also been ever-present in the Copas. They can proceed to the next stage of this competition by getting something out of the Uruguay matchup after losing 2-0 to the United States. La Verde is undergoing a transitional phase after changing coaches in the last two years. The previous head coach oversaw only 10 matches before Antonio Carlos Zago took over in October 2023. We hope these changes won't affect their performances.

Uruguay - Bolivia: Form Analysis
Uruguay has posted mixed results heading into this competition. La Celeste has recently played top teams like Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, winning on all occasions. At the start of this month, they beat fellow tournament favorites Mexico 4-0 despite only seeing 45% of the ball. However, dismal results like the 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast and the 1-1 draw with Basque Country can cause alarm among the fans of The Sky Blue. In their last 44 games, Uruguay has scored 65 goals while conceding 37. They have lost only once in their previous six competitive matches.
Bolivia, on the other hand, is struggling to perform lately. In November last year, they suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat against Uruguay after Darwin Nunez scored three goals and Gabriel Villamil scored an own goal. Since then, they have played five matches, winning only once against Andorra in March. This month alone, Bolivia has lost to Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and the US, scoring one goal and conceding 9. In the last 45 matches, Bolivia has scored 44 goals and conceded 91. They have also lost all their six previous competitive matches. Antonio Carlos Zago should definitely be worried.

Uruguay & Bolivia Squad Analysis
Uruguay has a highly experienced squad that should reach far in this tournament. Brian Ocampo and Nicolas Marichal are the least experienced players, each with one international cap. Their record goal scorer, Luis Suarez (37), will be looking to make his 139th appearance for Uruguay against Bolivia after being an unused sub against Panama. However, Suarez may no longer have the energy of yesteryears. The good news for them is that Darwin Nunez has slotted into the goal-scoring responsibilities well, scoring in the 85th minute against Panama.
Things aren't looking better on the Bolivian side. The South Americans might be without Jairo Quinteros, who ruptured his Achilles tendon before the USA game. Bolivia will also be without the 16-year-old Moises Paniagua, who couldn't get a visa entry into the US. However, they have a reasonably experienced squad, with Gustavo Almada and Adalid Terrazas the only uncapped players in this squad. Goalkeeper Carlos Lampe is the most experienced name, with 55 international caps.

Our Uruguay vs Bolivia Prediction
Bolivia will carry the underdog tag in this matchup and expect relentless attacks from Suarez and his teammates. They could use counters to create scoring opportunities as they did in their 2-0 win over Peru in November last year. However, they certainly won't win the midfield battle to play on the counter. In addition, Uruguay has some in-form attackers who can end Bolivia's dreams in the first half. Their experienced players can handle the pressure to deliver in this one and go on to win the trophy. Our prediction for Uruguay vs Bolivia: Over 3.5 goals.
Uruguay vs Bolivia - Other Interesting Picks
Darwin Nunez to score
Darwin Nunez is in fine form. He scored two goals against Bolivia in November last year and recently bagged a goal against Panama. Impressively, the Liverpool striker has scored six goals and assisted two in the previous seven matches for Uruguay. He could be on the scoreboard again against the Bolivians.
