Panama, meanwhile, were last in action when they faced Mexico in the final of the 2023 Gold Cup in July. Santiago Gimenez' 88th-minute strike settled the contest and guided El Tri to a record-extending ninth Gold Cup triumph.
Both sides will use this game in preparation for their return to competitive action next month. Bolivia have two tough tests against Brazil and Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Panama, meanwhile, face Martinique and Guatemala in the CONCACAF Nations League.

Panama were surprise finalists in the Gold Cup and eliminated the USA before pushing Mexico all the way in the final. Bolivia, meanwhile, have struggled over the last few months, and the trend should continue. Expect Panama to claim a narrow win and also keep a clean sheet.
