Bolivar - Union Espanola

Copa Libertadores 2012, Group Stage

This month is not going very well, so let's see if we can salvage anything from it. For this match that will be played in La Paz, plenty of goals should be on the menu. The high altitude definitely puts the visitors in a bad position, and that will probably take it's toll on the players in the latter part of the game. That is why is important for them to make a good start, maybe even to score a fast goal. Union Espanola have been free-scoring lately, with 15 goals in 6 matches in the league, plus 5 more in 3 games of Libertadores, so offensively they are looking good. The coach already said that he will go to Bolivia to win, and for that he plans a rather offensive formation, to take advantage of Bolivar's defensive gaps. The Bolivians also look good when it comes to scoring goals, with 22 scored in 12 matches, and with their status as favorites, they will surely go for the win here, as they know the Chileans will have to cope with the effects of the altitude. Home win is the most probable result, but the handicap is set quite right, so in the case of a probable 2-1 win, the over bet looks much better. GL!

over 2.5 goals @ 1.92, 5/10
Result: 1-3, WON
