Two offensive teams will face each other tonight, in the high altitude of La Paz. Santos has tons of more quality compared to the Bolivian team (Neymar, Elano, Renteria, Borges, etc), no one doubts that, but the hosts also have one huge advantage, in the form of the high altitude. Santos already played in La Paz this year, losing against The Strongest, 1-2, in the last minute of play. They suffered indeed from the altitude, but even so, they lost that match on their own, missing around 5-6 sitters in the second half. Hopefully, they will improve their finishing record today, because Bolivar isn't known for their strong defensive performances. Even more, the Bolivians know that their only chance to qualify is to take a good result to Brazil, so they will use an offensive formation, with 3 forwards, and since they should also have better skills than The Strongest, goals should come (4 of their 6 group matches ended with at least 3 goals, including here all 3 of their home matches). The line should've been set at 2.75, so this bet also has a bit value (had more, but the odds dropped lately). GL!
over 2.5 goals @ 1.83, 4/10
Result: 2-1, WON
