La Verde seems to be the underdog in Group A. Let's see how Eduardo Villegas' men step up to beat those odds in the 2019 Copa América.

What is Paraguay's Copa América record?

The Bolivian National Team, referred to as "La Verde", has played 26 of the 45 previous Copa América editions. The green and white side has only won the title in 1963, and their second best result took place the second time in which they played the role of hosts (1997). Bolivia has only made it to the second round in one of their last seven Copa América appearances, having won one of 21 matches during that span.

Who are Paraguay's key players for the 2019 Copa América?

Marcelo Martins Moreno – The Shijiazhuang Ever Bright F.C. striker playing in the Chinese Super League will try to prove once and for all that he deserves to be called the top scorer in Bolivia's history. Joaquin Botero's record seems to be close, but can Martins score five goals this summer to claim the record all for himself?

Alejandro Chumacero – The best-paid Bolivian player in the world will try to live up to that reputation with a good performance on Brazilian soil. This will be Chumasteiger's second Copa América, following the one where La Verde reached the Quarterfinals in 2015. The midfielder will be key to lead that line and Bolivia in their efforts to reach the next round.

Who is Paraguay's boss?

Eduardo Villegas – The recently-appointed boss took over in January 2019, but his start after three games is not promising. Two defeats in threee games make fans fear the worst, even if the man was able to lead San José to the Bolivian top flight's title in 2018.
