Bolivar – the shape of the team and its analysis: everything was decided in the first round
“The Academy” was able to pleasantly surprise its fans by successively winning against all opponents in April, visiting Palestino and playing in native La Paz against Millonarios and Flamengo. And perhaps the team relaxed, because then the results deteriorated sharply. It reduced the match in Colombia to a draw with a goal in the 67th minute of the game, but 4 unanswered goals were conceded in Brazil.
Palestino – the shape of the team and its analysis: the chances of success are low
“The Arabes”, in order to play at group stage, knocked out Portuguesa and Nacional Asuncion in the qualification (they exchanged away victories in the confrontation with “the Paraguayans”, winning only in a penalty shoot-out). Speaking about the main round, there were defeats made by Bolivar (0-2) and Flamengo (0-4). Still, 4 points with the outsider, Millonarios, and a home victory over the Brazilians left a chance for overall success – the club has 7 points at the moment, like “the Vultures”. It is reasonable to mention that the opponent’s goal difference is better, so even just winning in Bolivia may not be enough.
