Uruguay vs Bolivia Prediction and Match Preview

Uruguay vs Bolivia Prediction

Uruguay started this Copa America season strongly, defeating Panama 3-1. They will face Bolivia at MetLife Stadium on Friday, and Bolivia had a disappointing start to their campaign, losing to USA 2-0.

• Uruguay’s win over Panama extended their unbeaten run to three games in all competitions.
• Uruguay’s offense scored 7 goals in their last three matches, with Nunez scoring 4 in that period.
• Bolivia suffered four consecutive defeats, the latest being a 2-0 loss to USA in their opening match.
• It is noteworthy that Bolivia has not scored in three of their last four matches.
• La Celeste has won five of their last six head-to-head meetings against La Verde.

Uruguay is in strong form across all competitions lately. Their performance against Panama showcased their scoring potential. Prior to that match, they defeated Mexico 4-0, with in-form striker Darwin Nunez scoring a hat-trick.

Meanwhile, Bolivia is on a four-match losing streak. Both their offensive and defensive lines have been disappointing recently. In their last four games, Bolivia conceded 9 goals while scoring just one. Given Uruguay’s dominant record against Bolivia, we expect a convincing win for them on Friday.

Uruguay Team News

Marcelo Bielsa has tried three different formations for Uruguay in their recent matches. He used a 4-3-3 formation in the opening Copa America match, focusing more on the left wing. His tactics worked well as left-back Vina scored a goal and assisted Araujo.

Crucially, Uruguay defeated Bolivia 3-0 in their latest head-to-head match with the same formation. With Darwin Nunez in excellent form as center forward, we expect Bielsa to stick with the same lineup on Friday.

Uruguay Predicted Lineup (4-3-3)

Rochet – Nandez, Araujo, Olivera, Vina – Valverde, Ugarte, De Arrascaeta – Pellistri, Darwin Nunez, Maximiliano Araujo.

Bolivia Team News

Antonio Carlos has not changed from the 4-2-3-1 formation in several recent games despite their losses. Therefore, we expect Bolivia to lineup in the same 4-2-3-1 formation.

Bolivia Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Viscarra – Jesus Sagredo, Haquin, Jose Sagredo, Justiniano – Medina, Saucedo – Villamil, Fernandez, Menacho – Bruno Miranda.

Can Bolivia make amends against a stronger Uruguayan side?

A win is crucial for Bolivia to recover from their poor start to the season, especially considering their four-match losing streak in all competitions. Such a form will be challenging against a team like Uruguay, who has a strong historical record against Bolivia.

Additionally, Uruguay has been unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches. Their recent goal-scoring trend suggests they could score over 2.5 goals, led by Darwin Nunez. Considering these factors, we predict a 3-0 win for Uruguay. Also, Uruguay has secured Half-Time/Full-Time wins in their last two matches. You can also consider backing Darwin Nunez to score anytime in this match.
