PANAMA are targeting a place in the round of 16 at the Copa America as they battle Bolivia in their final Group C fixture. The Panamanians will be aiming to build on that impressive win over USA and should have the upper hand over Bolivia, who have been poor lately.
Bolivia are coming off a 5-0 defeat to Uruguay in their previous Group C fixture. They were no match for the superior quality of the Uruguayans and could only muster just a single attempt on target throughout the encounter.
That was the second straight defeat for Panama, who began their campaign with a 2-0 defeat to the USA. Antonio Carlos Zago’s men have been struggling since long before the start of the Copa America and are winless in their last five matches, failing to score four times in that run.
Panama claimed their first ever win at the Copa America as they triumphed 2-1 over USA last time out in Group C. They fought back from a goal down with efforts from Cesar Blackman and Jose Farjado earning them the win.
The result means Panama now have a great chance of progressing to the next round for the first time in their history. The task is straightforward as a win on Tuesday will earn Thomas Christiansen’s men a place in the round of 16.

With Bolivia struggling in attack, Panama will be targeting a shutout on Tuesday. Jose Cordoba will be the one to watch at the heart of the defence and can lead the Panamanians to a clean sheet at 21/20 with Betfred.
Probable line-ups

Panama will be without midfielder Adalberto Carrasquilla, who was shown a red card late in the win over USA. Jose Farjado is likely to be given a start on Tuesday having come off the bench to good effect last time out.
