Bolivia vs Panama predictions: No respite for beleaguered Verde
- Bolivia have lost their two matches at Copa America by an aggregate of 7-0
- Over 2.5 goals has landed in 13 of Panama's last 20 matches
- Recommended bet: Panama to win & over 2.5 goals
Panama are in the unlikely position of being able to qualify for the knockout stages of Copa America following their shock win over hosts USA on Thursday and a victory over bottom-side Bolivia could see them through to the next round.
Their position is strengthened by the fact that USA must face Uruguay who already have the top spot in the group sewn up following two straight wins.
Bolivia are in miserable shape following two heavy defeats and they are unlikely to offer too much resistance in Orlando this week.
Team news
Bolivia have a clean bill of health but may choose to ring the changes given this is likely to be their last outing in the competition.
Panama also have no injury concerns but they will have to make do without Adalberto Carrasquilla following his red card in the win over USA.
The stats
Panama have won their last four meetings with Bolivia.
Bolivia have lost their last their last five matches by an aggregate of 14-1.
The last three meetings between the two sides have seen both teams score.
Bolivia have won just three and drawn one of their last 24 internationals.
Prediction
Panama have a huge incentive to win this contest and they are unlikely to slip up against such weak opposition.
Bolivia have shipped seven goals in their two matches at Copa America and their struggles away from their high-altitude base of La Paz are still a major hindrance.
Their losing streak is up to five and they have won just two of their last 16 internationals, both on home soil.
Their record against Panama is not much better either, and La Verde have lost their last four meetings with Los Canaleros.
Three of those have seen at least three goals scored, so backing a Panama win featuring over 2.5 goals looks the best bet.
Panama produced a competitive performance against group leaders Uruguay, and only two very late goals for the Albiceleste gave the 3-1 scoreline a more one-sided look.
Their last five matches have averaged 2.8 goals per game, while Bolivia's last five have seen three goals per outing so an expectation of at least three goals in this clash should be realised.
Bolivia's focus may be more on their return home following a miserable trip to the United States and a comfortable Panama win looks a likely outcome.
