What to say about this first leg in this tournament, pre-league final, as Bolivar won their last two league games here at Blooming with no less than 5-0 both times, and also won once at home 6-1 against this opponent. So far, Bolivar, side that smashed everyone in the league last season as they were crowned champions, have won all their games in this competition both home and away from home.
Bolivar always played the first leg on the road, and they play it once more here in the final. They won 2-1 on the road and 7-1 at home with San Jose. Next they won 1-0 at Aurora and 5-1 at home, while last round they won 2-1 at Universitario de Vinto and 3-2 at home. So they are indeed in great form at this stage.
Blooming should be defensive minded here, their tactics against a side of Bolivar or bigger clubs. Got the chance to qualify for the Copa Libertadores, started from the Quarters, won the first leg with EL Nacional from Ecuador 3-2 and lost after penalty kicks on the road, but they were 2nd best both games. Maybe here at home better in the first half taking a 3-1 lead by HT.
Given the two recent wins from Bolivar with 5-0 lately here at Blooming, and the fact that they have won all 6 games so far this competition, I back what I rate good odds on their win. Game from tonight.
