The second game for Chile and Bolivia in the 2020 Copa América could give their fans reasons to follow it on the edge of their seats, as more than two points will be in play when they clash at Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá.
La Roja enter this match having drawn their first game of the competition against Argentina. Martín Lasarte's team came from behind to earn a point thanks to a goal by Edu Vargas, who sent the ball to the back of the net after Argentina's goalkeeper had denied Arturo Vidal from scoring a penalty.
On the other hand, Bolivia did not have the best start of the tournament, as they succumbed to Paraguay with a 3-1 score. La Verde had taken the lead thanks to an early penalty, but Paraguay bounced back and claimed the lead with a furious reaction in the second half.
Chile will make their way to Arena Pantanal with almost the same team that drew their clash against Argentina. Unfortunately for them, Alexis Sánchez will not be able to participate in this game due to a muscular problem. Other than that, Martín Lasarte may choose to begin the game with the same men that started the clash against La Albiceleste.
As for La Verde, the team will have four major absences for this game, with Marcelo Moreno, Henry Vaca, and Luis Haquín ruled out after testing positive for COVID-19. The team's other absence will be that of Spanish-born footballer Jaume Cuéllar, who was sent off during the game against Paraguay.
Chile and Bolivia have a rich history of games between them, as they have played 46 games prior to Friday's meeting. Out of those, Chile dominates all stats with 30 wins. Meanwhile, Bolivia's teams have only been able to win seven of those encounters. Speaking of Copa América games, their last clash took place in the Copa América Centenario, with Chile taking the three points with a 2-1 end result. Bolivia have not been able to beat Chile in a Copa América clash since 1975, when they beat La Roja 2-1.
