Betting on Club Bolivar
On the other hand, Bolivar has not been having the best of times. The Bolivian team has been struggling since their last victory on April 9 against Vaca Diez. Since then, Beñat San José’s team has been on a four-match winless streak, with their latest defeat being a 3-2 loss against Nacional Potosi in the local league.
In terms of their international campaign, Bolivar is tied with all the other teams in Group C of the Copa Libertadores, with three points. They won their debut match against Palmeiras 3-1 in the La Paz altitude, but then suffered a 2-1 defeat against Ecuador’s Barcelona in Guayaquil. Bolivar will be looking to break their winless streak and secure a crucial victory against Cerro Porteno to stay in the race for the knockout stages of the tournament.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Carlos Lampe; Jesús Sagredo, Bryan Bentaberry, José Sagredo; Diego Bejarano, Fernando Saucedo, Gabriel Villamíl, Roberto Fernández; Pablo Hervías, Patricio Rodríguez, Ronnie Fernández.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams’ current form before their upcoming match suggests some noteworthy predictions. It’s also undeniable how strong Cerro Porteno has been playing at home in the famous Nueva Olla.
On the other hand, while Bolivar scored most of their goals at the high altitude of La Paz, we can’t ignore their impressive goal-scoring record at the start of their campaign. However, the scenario will be different for the Bolivians this Wednesday.
