Chile vs. Bolivia Copa America 2016 Streaming Info, Preview, Prediction, Scheduling As Defending Champs Look For Bounceback Performance
Chile and Bolivia will look for bounceback games when they face off on Friday in the Copa America 2016.
Both teams lost their respective openers by the score of 2-1, though both sides got there through different means.
Bolivia played decently against Panama but managed to blow its comeback in the final minutes of the game.
Chile had a solid performance against Argentina despite loss
Chile meanwhile looked lost against Argentina during the first 45 minutes before building a far more cohesive attack in the second half. But Chile's aggressive possession attack in the latter half of the match forced the team into a defensive high line that wound up leaving it exposed to a counter attack.
Argentina's attack carved up Chile's defenders with relative ease scoring two counter attack goals and pulling away with a 2-0 lead. Yet, Chile did not give up, continuing to press up the pitch with an impressive passing game that almost always resulted in a nice look, even if the chances resulted in little.
Fortunately the team got a fortunate setpiece goal at the death, a just reward for a solid performance.
If Chile plays the same against a far inferior Chile side, then there is no doubt that the team should pull away a win in this matchup.
Player to Watch
Claudio Bravo had a poor game on Monday conceding two goals he might one back. In all fairness, the second was an unfortunate bounce. Nonetheless he will need to be sharper for his team if it has any hopes of getting to the next round.
Matchup heavily favors Chile
Chile has dominated Bolivia throughout its history, winning 26 and only losing six games. There have also been 10 draws in the history of this tete-a-tete. Bolivia has not defeated Chile since 2000 in a World Cup qualifying match. Chile has only lost that one time in 18 matches. The two sides met last year at the group stage with Chile winning 5-0.
Prediction
Chile is going to look for a big comeback game and will get it with a 3-0 victory.
