Uruguay will play Paraguay in the Copa America 2015 on Saturday in a big game for both teams. Uruguay, the defending champions, will be looking to hand unbeaten Paraguay their first defeat, and in so doing, guarantee their own spot in the quarter finals of the competition. The game takes place from La Ported in Chile and has a scheduled start time of 3 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the beIN Sports network, but can also be watched online through live stream via the link below.
Uruguay come into today's game sitting in third place in Group B. After winning against Jamaica in their opening game, they lost to Argentina 0-1 in their second, meaning they have work to do today to ensure they progress to the knock out stages of the competition.
Paraguay meanwhile have also defeated Jamaica, but managed to hold tournament favorites Argentina to a draw, to come into today's contest level with the Argentines on four points from their two games so far.
The top two teams from the group will automatically qualify for the knock out stages, where as two of the top three third-placed teams will make it through to the quarter finals.
Uruguay goalkeeper Muslera has said, "They are a strong rival and we expect a difficult game. But we need to go out to win because it's the only chance we have left.''
Uruguay were not happy with their performance against Argentina, and they are likely to bring about a number of changes to their starting line up for today's game.
Reports have claimed that Diego Godin, Nicolas Lodeiro and Cristian Rodriguez will all miss the game, which means Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates, River Plate midfielder Carlos Sanchez and Hull forward Abel Hernandez are all expected to come into the team.
The absence of captain Diego Godin will be a huge blow. He picked up another yellow card against Argentina, which means he misses today's game, and Sebastian Coates will replace him.
Paraguay striker Raul Bobadilla said, "It will affect Uruguay a lot. Not just because Godin is a great player but because he is the captain. We need to take advantage of his absence. As a striker I was happy that Godin was not playing."
Today's game will be a rematch of the last Copa America final, which Uruguay won 3-0. However, in their last meeting two years ago the teams played out a 1-1 draw in a World Cup qualifier.
