Betting on Club Blooming
Things haven’t been going well for the Bolivian team lately, as they come off a 2-2 draw with Real Tomayapo in their last local match. In fact, after seven games played, Blooming still hasn’t secured their first victory, with only two draws and five losses under their belt, and currently standing in second-to-last place in the league standings.
However, the team did manage to qualify for the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana after a convincing 8-3 aggregate win over Atlético Palmaflor. Key to that victory was their impressive 6-0 win in the first leg, played on March 9th, where José Luis Sinisterra was the standout player, scoring three of the team’s six goals.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Braulio Uraezaña; Gabriel Valverde, César Romero, Abraham Cabrera, Denilson Durán; Jorge Lovera, Richard Spenhay; Rafinha, Juan Carlos Arce, José Luis Sinisterra; Gastón Rodríguez.
Betting on Club Santos Laguna
The Brazilian team is back in action in this competition after their participation in 2022, where they made it to the round of 16. For the Peixe, it’s the start of an intense April as they make their debut in this tournament while also juggling their involvement in the Copa do Brasil, where they’ll play in the third round. And if that’s not enough, they’ll begin their journey in the Brasileirao in mid-April.
Despite finishing 12th in the local tournament last year, Santos secured one of the six direct spots for Brazilian clubs in the Copa Sudamericana. This is because the regulations state that Brazilian clubs that finish between 9th and 14th position qualify for the Copa Sudamericana, a condition shared by other teams like São Paulo, Atlético Mineiro, Botafogo, Goiás, and Bragantino.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Joao Paulo; Joao Lucas, Maicon, Joaquim, Felipe Jonatan; Dodi, Rodrigo Fernandez; Lucas Lima, Lucas Barbosa, Lucas Braga; Marcos Leonardo.
JefeBet Prediction
Blooming may have the home advantage, but they’re not exactly in their prime form right now. Actually, they’ve only managed to snatch one victory so far in 2023, and that was in a preliminary round match. On the other hand, Santos arrives with more momentum and a better performance record this season.
Therefore, here at JefeBet, we believe that the visiting team could come out on top. However, we don’t expect the difference in the final score to be too significant, considering the game is being played in Bolivia and Brazilian clubs traditionally struggle with high altitude matches.
Prediction: Santos Moneyline and Under (BLO 0-1 SAN)
