Chile will travel to Cuiabá hoping to start picking up wins under Martín Lasarte and also to strengthen themselves in Group A. Even though they held Argentina in the opening round, La Roja have plenty of work to do.
They’ll have to facethis group stage without Alexis Sánchez, but their hopes rely on Arturo Vidal‘s experience and new talents such as Ben Brereton. Meanwhile, Bolivia will try to bounce back after dropping points against Paraguay.
La Verde haven’t won a Copa America game since 2015, as they lost every single match both in 2016 and 2019. This group doesn’t seem to favor César Farías’ team at all, as it was also struck by a Covid outbreak that ruled out six of its players.
