Bolivia v Paraguay

 

Bolivia and Paraguay face each other in a final friendly match before commencing their Copa America campaign on June 26. Both the teams will be looking for their starting line up to gel with each other before starting the tournament in Venezuela.

 

Bolivia coach Erwin Sanchez has recalled veteran striker Jaime Moreno into the squad. The 33-year old DC United striker, who is currently the joint top scorer in the MLS history, has represented his country 65 times. Sanchez will be hoping that Moreno will be able to provide the attacking edge as Bolivia look to qualify from a similar looking Group A.

 

Bolivia is once again slotted into the Group A with hosts Venezuela and Peru, along with Uruguay. Bolivia will be hopeful for an improved performance from last time around, when it was dumped out of the tournament in the group stage.

 Paraguay will be looking to go one step ahead of the quarterfinals spot that it had reached in the 2004 edition of the tournament. Gerardo Martino's side is in a difficult Group C, along with Colombia, runners-up Argentina and invitee USA, who will be making its first appearance in the tournament in over 13 years.
