Latest Copa America schedule: Host USA can advance soon if…

Host US eager to stay in Copa America 2024

Hosts USA are likely to secure an early ticket to the next round of Copa America 2024 when they meet Panama in the second match of Group C at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta at 5am on June 28. In the opening match, the home team had no difficulty defeating Bolivia 2-0, while Los Canaleros (nicknamed the Panama team) lost 1-3 to Uruguay.

Gregg Berhalter's side won their third straight group stage game without conceding a goal. Since a new rotation system was implemented for the Copa America in 1987, every host team has advanced from the group stage and a win for the US over Panama and a win for Uruguay would ensure the hosts progress.

The US has only lost to Panama once at home, a 1-2 defeat at MetLife Stadium in the 2011 Gold Cup group stage.

Meanwhile, Thomas Christiansen's Panama have not lost 3 consecutive matches in the international arena, so they need to beat the US to maintain that record. After losing the last 2 matches in the CONCACAF Nations League 2023 - 2024, Panama has consecutive matches against teams in the region, winning 2 matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

A loss plus a win for Uruguay against Bolivia would see Panama eliminated from the tournament. La Marea Roja have the added bonus of winning two of their last three meetings with the USA.

Uruguay likely to see off Bolivia

Uruguay will play Bolivia in the second match of Group C at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey at 8am on June 28, with the goal of securing an early ticket. La Celeste (the Uruguay team's nickname) had a 3-1 victory over Panama in the opening match, while Bolivia failed in this tournament when losing 0-2 to the United States.

True to Marcelo Bielsa's style, Uruguay played with a lot of attacking intent. The victory over Panama not only extended their winning streak in the group stage of the tournament to 3 consecutive matches, but they are now unbeaten in their last 4 matches in the Copa America group stage.

With a win over Panama and a USA win or draw against Panama, Uruguay will advance to the next round. Uruguay have won nine consecutive international matches when leading at half-time.

Uruguay off to a smooth start

Antonio Carlos Zago's men have gone behind within the first five minutes in each of their previous games, while five of their last eight goals conceded have come within the first half-hour of play.

Bolivia's losing streak now stands at 13 games, while they have won just two of their previous matches. Bolivia have conceded eight times in their previous three matches after conceding just one in their previous two.

In three of their last four Copa America encounters, Bolivia will need to be more solid. La Verde are in danger of being eliminated with a defeat combined with a US win. If they haven't beaten Uruguay since 1997 (1-0).
