Bolivar vs Tigre Match Preview

Bolivar host Tiger at Hernando Siles for the second round of the Copa Libertadores group stage.

Bolivar had a bad start in Copa Libertadores as they lost 2-0 to Guarani Asuncion in Paraguay. They couldn't hold the pressure by the hosts and conceded the first goal at the beginning of the game.

In their domestic championship, they were beaten 2-1 in the previous round at the derby against Always Ready. They took the lead in the first half but failed to even get even a single point out of this match. They're aiming to win today, in order to not stay long behind in the table and keep alive their chances to qualify in the next stage of the competition.

On the other hand, Tigre is once again in the Copa Libertadores groups after many years. They qualified after winning the title of the Argentinian Cup last season. They are playing in the second group and things are gonna be tough for them, as they will have to face difficult opponents.

In the first match, they were defeated 0-2 to superior Palmeiras, and now they are traveling to La Paz, where it is expected for them to have a very difficult task. Unavailable is the suspended defender Perez who was red-carded in the previous match.

Bolivar have the upper hand to win as they play at home. The offered odds are fairly low for Bolivar as they are the undeniable favorites. Tigre are not ready for something big this year since things have turned out really bad for them so far and thy play in the second division of the Argentinian football. I expect Bolivar to win comfortably this one, covering the -2.5 goals asian handicap.
