Bolivia vs Peru Prediction & Betting tips
At the Copa America rolled since last weekend the ball. A total of twelve national teams fight again this time for the coveted trophy. There will be a game between Bolivia and Peru in Group A Tuesday night at 22:30 in Rio de Janeiro. The prognosis in our view speaks much more for the Peruvians, but on the other hand, the Bolivians will certainly not surrender to their fate without a fight in this comparison.
The Bolivian national team had to play at the opening match against the big favorites Brazil. As expected, the team of national coach Eduardo Villegas had no chance in this match and had to give up at the end. On the other hand, Peru could not really convince in the first match at this Copa America. Finally, there was only a goalless draw for the team of coach Ricardo Gareca. That was pretty disappointing from Peru’s point of view.
After these results so far, both teams actually need a success, if you want to continue hoping for a place in the second round.
Bolivia:
Bolivia is one of the weakest South American teams looking at statistics. For this reason, a survival of the preliminary round for the Bolivians seems to be damn hard. Finally, Bolivia has caught a heavy group. In addition to the big favorite Brazil, you also have to fight for points against Venezuela and Peru. Here is La Verde at least in any of the group games as a favorite. But that’s no big surprise if you take a closer look at the development of Bolivia in recent years.
Incidentally, in the last 17 international matches, it was only enough for Bolivia to win once. This victory was achieved in October 2018, when they beat Myanmar 3: 0. In the run-up to Copa America, coach Villegas’s team played one final friendly against world champions France in June. In Nantes Bolivia showed a good performance in this comparison and was able to keep the defeat 2: 0 significantly lower than expected. At the Copa America Bolivia had to start at the opening match against the hosts Brazil. In this game, the Bolivians against the Selecao were the blatant outsider. So it was all right that Bolivia could hold a 0-0 draw until halftime.
In the second round, La Verde came under more and more pressure and had to accept the first goal five minutes after the restart by a penalty. Shortly afterwards goalkeeper Carlos Lampe then conceded directly a second goal. At the latest by this hit the defeat of Bolivia was actually already perfect. In the final phase, the keeper had then once again get the ball out of his own box and so it was at the end of a 3-0 defeat for the Bolivians.
Peru:
For Peru, the bottom line has been decent in the last few years and so the Peruvians were able to catch up a bit compared to the big successful South American nations. However, one has to wait and see how the further development will be in the coming years. After all, with Guerrero and Farfan, some important players in the national team are already in the fall of their careers. Therefore, it remains to be seen how the team of national coach Ricardo Gareca will present itself at this Copa America.
At the last Copa America in 2016, the Peruvians survived the preliminary round after all and entered the quarter-finals. Here, Peru also offered the Colombians a tough fight, but then had to give up on penalties unfortunately unhappy beaten. Last year, the Peruvians were also represented at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
However, Peru did not really convince at this World Cup. Thus, after two narrow defeats against Denmark and France was already prematurely determined that it would not work with a reaching the round of 16. Nevertheless, Peru did not hang in the final group match and managed after goals from Andre Carrillo and Paolo Guerrero by a 2-0 win against Australia at least a conciliatory conclusion to the World Cup.
This year, the results in the test matches were only mixed. So there were two victories against Paraguay and Costa Rica, while the friendlies were lost to El Salvador. In the Copa America prelude Peru was disappointed in the match against Venezuela and ultimately did not go beyond a 0-0 draw. The Peruvians were in the final quarter of an hour even in the majority, but even this advantage could not use Peru for the decisive winner.
