Jorge Wilsterman - Universitario de Sucre

Bolivia Primera Division, Clausura

This will be a Bolivian derby of suffering, as the lowliest two clubs will face each other tonight. However, things are much worse for Jorge Wilsterman than for Universitario, despite just 1 point separating them in the standings, but Wilsterman is on a relegation play-off spot in the average points table, and that is where relegation is settled in the Bolivian league. And while things are looking grim, and La Paz is already quite comfortable ahead of Wilsterman, they have no choice but to keep fighting, and hoping for a miracle, especially since Real Mamore is threatening to relegate Wilsterman even further, to the spot of direct relegation. Universitario have no relegation worries this season, but they are fighting on two fronts, also being active in Copa Sudamericana, and this can be seen in their league performances, losing their last 4 matches. Three players have been confirmed as unavailable for this match for Universitario, as defender Albarracin and midfielder Liendo have been sent off last match, while top scorer Galindo still has a match of suspension to serve. Besides them, we could see some other changes in the team, as Universitario will have to travel to Brazil next week, in an almost impossible attempt to overturn a 0-1 deficit against Palmeiras. Wilsterman's home form has been poor, losing 3 out of 6 games, but the only thing poorer than that is Universitario's away record, who are still without a win, and have only managed a draw in 6 appearances. This, plus the probable multiple absences in their team, should make Wilsterman a strong favorite. GL!

Jorge Wilsterman (-0.75 AH) @ 2.01, 3/10
Result: 2-2, LOST
