Where to watch live
Kick-off is at 12:30am BST(on Saturday).Live coverage of the match will be available on Premier Sports.
Overview
Chile come into this game on the back of a 3-3 draw against Mexico. They had recovered from a goal down on two occasions following which Arturo Vidal gave them the lead, but it was shortlived as Vicente Vuoso struck his second of the game to level the scores and take a share of the points.
The Chileans are mired in off-field distractions after Arturo Vidal was charged with an alleged drink and drive offence after the midfielder crashed his Ferrari on Thursday, 18 June. The clash against Bolivia is a potential pre-quarterfinal with the winner booking a place in the knockout phase of the competition.
Bolivia come into this game on the back of an entertaining win over Ecuador and will look to take advantage of Chile's off-field distractions and book a place in the knockout phases. The win in the previous match was Bolivia's first in 18 years in the Copa America, the last coming in 1997 when they hosted the tournament.
Mexico, on the other hand, have to beat Ecuador to have a chance of qualifying for the quarter- finals, while their opponents are simply playing for pride and will be keen to get at least one win under their belt before returning home.
