Bolivia vs Argentina Prediction 29 June 2021

Match Preview

Bolivia vs Argentina prediction, the match will be held on June 29. It will be interesting to find out whether Bolivia will be able to make a mini-sensation and take away points from the formidable Argentina.

The final round of the Group A of the Copa America between the national teams of Bolivia and Argentina will take place at the Pantanal Arena in Cuiaba (Brazil). For Bolivia, the current performance is mediocre, since the team does not get into the playoffs in any case. Argentina will definitely prove itself in the elimination tournament, but a victory will definitely help to keep the first place in the group.

Head-to-Head

Last year, the national teams met as part of the 2nd round of qualification for the World Cup. The match was held in Bolivia and ended with the victory of the guests with the score 2:1. Surprisingly, despite the fact that the Bolivians were exposed as the underdogs of the meeting, they were the first to open the account. The author of the goal was Moreno (Cruzeiro) – the forward scored in the 24th minute. However, at the end of the first half, Martinez (Inter) restored parity, and on the 79th Correa (Lazio) put an end to the match.

Before this match, the teams were sorting out their relations in 2017. The match also took place in the qualification for the World Cup and ended with an unexpected victory of the Bolivian national team with a score of 2:0. If you look at the statistics of the last full-time performances, we can say that most of them end with a total over 2.5 (four of the last six). It is worth noting that the overwhelming majority of wins in matches are on the side of Argentina, however, for example, in 2009, Bolivia defeated the opponent with a score of 6:1.

Bolivia Review

The performance of the national team of Bolivia this year can not be called successful. At the end of March, the Bolivians lost in two friendly matches with Chile and Ecuador with the same score 1:2. The Greens showed themselves well in qualifying for the World Cup (3:1 with Venezuela and 1:1 with Chile), but such a fighting spirit was still not transmitted to the cup performances. Farias ' proteges lost in three matches in a row and thereby deprived themselves of the opportunity to compete for the playoffs. In addition, the team managed to please the fans with only one goal.

Bolivia had a chance to score points – in the first match with Paraguay, the team took the lead already in the 10th minute (Saavedra scored from the penalty spot), but at the end of the first half Cuellar was removed from the field for rough play. In the second half of the meeting, the Bolivians conceded three unanswered goals. The team lost to the Chileans only by one goal (0:1), and in the confrontation with Uruguay (0:2), an autogall by Quinteros helped open the account. So the current situation does not fully reflect the game of the national team, but it is unlikely that the guys will be able to fix zero in the asset.

Argentina Review

The national team of Argentina hesitantly began the march at the tournament. Already in the 1st round, the team lost points in the confrontation with Chile. The blue and white team were the first to open the scoring in the 33rd minute – Lionel Messi (Barcelona) was the author of the goal. However, already on the 57th Vargas equalized the score after the keeper beat off Vidal's shot from the penalty spot. After the sponsored Scaloni won two matches in a row with the same score 1:0 - Uruguay and Paraguay.

Despite the fact that Argentina occupies the first place in the group, having seven points in the asset, still the team's game can not be called confident. Despite the powerful trio of attacks in the person of Messi, Martinez and Gonzalez, as well as Aguero and Di Maria, the team does not please the audience with its performance. Agree, three goals in three matches for such a skilled team is really not enough. In addition, the Argentines unconvincingly held the qualification matches for the World Cup this year. First, the team parted in peace with Chile (1:1), and then again played a draw – 2:2 with Colombia. So Scaloni should think about both the composition and the optimal scheme, because he will soon have to prove himself in the playoffs.

Sportbooks do not doubt the victory of the national team of Argentina. The Greens have not yet scored a single point in the current campaign, but it will not be easy to demonstrate something in the current confrontation. So, most likely, the main task for the national team will be to prevent a crushing defeat. The blue and white team has already secured an exit to the playoffs, but for a more convenient grid, the team will try not to miss points and stay in first place in the group.

The Bolivian national team definitely lacks luck in the current campaign. But if you look at the statistics of recent performances, the team has quite a lot of defeats. There are no top-level players in the national team, and therefore the performances are inconclusive. The team tries to play on the control of the ball, but there are obvious gaps in each zone. Bolivia has problems with the implementation of chances and obvious holes in the defense. And most likely, the mentor will not be able to rebuild the game for the current confrontation. Argentina has not yet pleased the audience with goals. The current meeting is an excellent opportunity for productive football. In addition, Messi has only one goal on the account, and the forward tries to distinguish himself in every game. We believe that the Scaloni brigade will put pressure on the opponent and win a confident Victoria.
