Bolivia vs Panama Prediction and Betting Tips | July 1, 2024

Bolivia conclude their 2024 Copa America group-stage campaign against Panama at the Inter&Co Stadium on Monday (July 1). Bolivia can still qualify for the knockouts but will have to win by at least six goals.

This is a must-win game for Panama as well who also need to register a big win because if the USA beat Uruguay, the second place in Group C will be decided by goal difference.

La Verde have suffered losses in their first two games and are one of four teams yet to open their goalscoring account.

Los Canaleros, meanwhile, suffered a 3-1 loss to Uruguay in their campaign opener but bounced back with a memorable 2-1 win over hosts USA last week.

Both teams had a player sent off, with Timothy Weah saw red in the first half, while Adalberto Carrasquilla saw a straight red in the 88th minute.

Folarin Balogun scored in the second straight match to give the USA the lead, but Cesar Blackman equalised four minutes later before substitute José Fajardo bagged the winner in the 83rd minute.

Bolivia vs Panama Prediction

Bolivia have scored once in five games across competitions. They have struggled in the Copa America. Since finishing as the runners-up in 1997, they have just one win in the competition.

They have suffered defeats in all group games in the previous three editions. If they fail to score, they will be eliminated, and it will be the first time since 2001 that they go home without scoring in the group stage.

Panama, meanwhile, need to win by at least two goals and also hope that the USA don't beat Uruguay. Adalberto Carrasquilla is a confirmed absentee due to suspension. Head coach Thomas Christiansen is expected to field Abdiel Ayarza in place of Carrasquilla.

Considering the current form of the two teams and recent history, Panama should register a comfortable win without conceding.

Prediction: Bolivia 0-2 Panama
