Sporting Cristal vs Bolivar prediction

Sporting Cristal come into this one on the back of an entertaining 3-2 defeat of Juan Pablo II College in the Peruvian Apertura whereby they have managed five victories in their ten domestic matches. Their most recent outing in this competition saw them share a 2-2 draw with Cerro Porteno in Paraguay a couple of weeks ago.

They now face a Bolivar side that have themselves also lost two of their opening three CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores group stage matches but they have managed a victory in the other one. That win came by three goals to nil in the reverse fixture between these two sides at Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz mid-way through last month.

Sporting Cristal will believe they will be better against Bolivar at home but they appear unlikely to get themselves a victory and a double chance bet in favour of the visitors looks the way to go for this one.

Sporting Cristal vs Bolivar tip: Double chance – Bolivar to win or draw
