JAKARTA - The second match of Group C of the 2024 Copa America will open the Uruguay chance to qualify for the quarter-finals faster. However, they must meet the requirements, namely winning against Bolivia.

Uruguay vs Bolivia in the second match of Group C which will be held at the MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, United States, Friday, June 28, 2024, at 08.00 WIB.

Ahead of this meeting, Uruguay brought good capital after winning in the inaugural match. Facing Panama, La Celeste pocketed a full point with a 3-1 victory.

The chances of winning against Bolivia seem not too heavy considering that during the inaugural match against Panama, La Celeste was able to appear slick. They even played very offensively through 19 shots and eight of them were right on target.

The record will be La Celeste's capital to hunt down a second win. The coach, Marcelo Bielsa, will likely not make many changes in preparation for Bolivia.

Darwin Nunez still leads Uruguay's front line with the support of Maximiliano Araujo. Matias Vina's left-back who played well against Panama through a score of one goal and one assist may also be a mainstay.

Meanwhile, the tough task will overshadow Bolivia in the second match. You see, they welcomed this match with a defeat in the previous match.

Facing the United States in the opening match, Bolivia lost 0-2. They have even been overwhelmed since the game had only been running for three minutes.

The defeat in the opening match exacerbated Bolivia's record during its participation in the Copa America. They now have a record 13 defeats.

In order not to repeat mistakes and tackle Uruguay's way of qualifying early, Bolivia is expected to conduct a massive evaluation. They have to go all out to open up again to hope of death.
