Things keep going as we reach the 2nd matchday in the group stage of the Copa América. Some teams have landed victories and taken over their groups on their way to the playoffs, but there is still time for everything to shift around. That could be the case for group C, in which Uruguay managed to take a 3 – 1 victory against Panama in the first match, taking the top.
Bolivia will be the team to face the leaders here in this second matchday. They are coming from a 0-2 loss against the USMNT, which sent them to the bottom of the board.
Now, things are interesting as Uruguay is looking not to slow down and secure their spot at the Knockout stage, while their opponents look to fix things before it is too late.

Why Bet on Uruguay?
Uruguay is in a good moment, as some late magic assured a debut victory, scoring twice beyond the 85th minute. That was their third straight win in the group stage of the Copa América, counting the last edition.
True to Marcelo Bielsa’s style, the Uruguayans came out aggressively in their opener, firing 11 shots in the opening 20 minutes, four of which were on target.
That victory not only extended their winning run in the group phase of this tournament to three consecutive games, but they are also now unbeaten in four successive Copa América group contests.
Why Bet on Bolivia?
When it comes to the Bolivia side, things, as usual, are not looking too well. Matchday one had a familiar feeling for them, as they conceded early and found themselves chasing the game throughout the 90 minutes.
Antonio Carlos Zago’s men have gone behind within the opening five minutes in each of their previous two games. Meanwhile, five of their last eight goals conceded have occurred within the first half-hour of a match.
Their losing run at the Copa America is now at 13 games, while they have only claimed one victory in their previous 31 fixtures at this tournament (3-2 over Ecuador in June 2015).
Final Betting Analysis: Uruguay vs. Bolivia
Uruguay has a habit of convincingly winning against the Bolivians, and we have difficulty believing La Verde will be able to contain that intense Charrua press.
We are going to be eagerly waiting for this match to go down, as it will be a showcase of what Uruguay is bringing into the tournament. Having to fight for the top spot with a solid USMNT side, the Celeste will go out looking for a convincing win that will assure their qualification, taking the battle for first place to the last matchday.
We’ll go for a 3-0.
Go for a victory for Uruguay at 1.19. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $19 for a total payout of $119.
