After losing their opener against Argentina, the Chilean national team are set on trying to win their first match against Bolivia. They won't have it easy but if they want to defend their title they will have to go all out for blood this next Friday. The Chileans got a lot of backlash after losing against Argentina for the second time in a row, but this is seen by the players as an extra motivation to get back on the tournament and beat Bolivia.
Chile striker Mark Gonzalez told the press that: "There is always going to be criticism. We are human of course it affects you when you are criticized, but that is part of our job. If we win against Bolivia it will be a different story. The team is confident in what we can do, regardless of what happened against Argentina. Logic and statistics would suggest we should win against Bolivia. But it would be a tremendous mistake to rely on that - we know that we must win. We know the Copa America is very tough and we have to continue to improve."
Both sides will have all their complete teams from the first match, manager Juan Antonio Pizzi will attempt to get this win and not have one of the worse starts for a National Team coach in Chile's history.
Possible lineups:
Chile starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Bravo; Isla, Medel, Jara, Mena; Aranguiz, Diaz, Vidal; Vargas, Sanchez, Beausejour
Bolivia starting lineup (3-4-1-2 formation): Lampe; Eguino, Zenteno, Cabrera; D. Bejarano, Azogue, Saucedo, M. Bejarano; Smedberg-Dalence; Arce, Duk
