Uruguay have won the Copa America a record 15 times but need a victory over Bolivia to kick-start their latest campaign after a dodgy opening to the tournament.

Granted, their loss to Argentina and draw with Chile represent their toughest games in the group, but they've scored just once in those two matches - and that was an own goal!

They're big favourites here though to beat Bolivia, who have just one win in 13 competitive games and just two wins in their last 44 Copa America games not held at home.

Bolivia's record against Uruguay is shockingly poor too, with just one win in the last 12, so we're all in on Uruguay bagging a customary Copa America victory.

The manner of the victory is up for debate, but neither side have been what you'd call prolific, with both of them scoring just once in the Copa America so far - as mentioned Uruguay's was an own goal, while Bolvia's was a penalty.

So not much doing with goals then, as Uruguay's last five games have all had under 2.5 in them, while they've kept three clean sheets in six, and with Bolivia's scoring problems we're going for Uruguay to get whatever win they can muster without conceding.

Adding further to our Bet Builder, we're looking at Uruguay's main man Luis Suarez, who has scored in four games against Bolivia and had three shots with two on target last time out against Chile.

Suarez is Uruguay's leading man and there's no reason why he won't hit the target a couple of times again in what should be a victory for his side.

That leaves us with a Bet Builder of around 2.47/5.
