Bolivia's performance in the Americas this year has been up and down, with two consecutive losses, first a 0:0 draw with the United States, followed by a 0:5 loss to Uruguay, exposing their fatal lack of a forward line. Looking back at the past six matches, including international warm-up matches, Bolivia has scored only one goal in total, so this kind of performance is obviously not able to make a difference in the American tournament.
On the Panamanian side, although they lost the first match 1:2 against Uruguay, they beat the United States in the second round with a thrilling comeback. That match was a tumultuous one, with players from both sides accumulating two red cards. Despite trailing at one point, Panama seized the opportunity in the 83rd minute of the match to secure the crucial three points with a 3-1 scoreline, which added to their hopes of advancing to the next round of the tournament. Panama have shown incredible resilience in their counterattacks and with their unique record against the USA, beating the hosts will undoubtedly be a huge boost to the team's morale.
Bolivia's best strategy to win the game might have been to keep possession and aim for a one-goal margin, yet the reality is that they struggled to break even one goal.
Panama, on the other hand, has managed to find a way to break down the U.S. defense, while Bolivia's offensive end has also looked overwhelmed. In other words, if Panama can capitalize on their chances, they can expect a solid win in the match.
