Universitario de Sucre - Blooming

Bolivia Primera Division

The surprise package of Copa Sudamericana, Universitario Sucre (the team that knocked-out Colo Colo and Cerro Porteno) are having to deal with some serious squad problems. 5 of their players were busy with international call-ups, and only returned with the team on Friday at noon, giving them only 2 days to prepare for this match, but their probable state of fatigue, and the fact that Sucre plays next week again in Sudamericana, might convince the coach not to use them at all. All those players are regulars, and include the goalkeeper Lampe, and the team's top scorer Roberto Galindo. And besides them, striker Horacio Fernandez (4 goals scored so far) is also suspended, leaving their offensive power depleted. Moreover, next week they will face Palmeiras, so, even though nothing is confirmed, some other regulars could be rested in order to have them fit for the clash with the Brazilians. Meanwhile, Blooming is a pretty solid team, even when playing away, and they close the spaces very well, waiting for a deadly counter attack. Some tactical change is expected, employing a formation with 5 midfielders, in order to get the ball back as soon as possible, and launch the counter for the in-form Castillo. So, it will be hard for Blooming to win this game, but with some many probable absences for Sucre, they will certainly have their chances, a draw is pretty much on the cards here. GL!

Blooming (+0.75 AH) @ 2.06, 3/10
Result: 0-2, WON
