O Flamengo return to the field Liberators of America to face Bolívar, leader of group E with 100% success. In addition to having to face the altitude of La Paz, Mengão will face a rival that prioritizes offense, as it is the team that scored the most goals in the South American competition.
So far, in addition to the two victories in the Libertadores, Bolívar leads group D of the Bolivian Championship. He has 16 points in eight games – with 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. It’s the best campaign of the tournament alongside The Strongest.
As in the Libertadores, Bolívar has the best attack in the Bolivian Championship. The team found the net on 19 occasions – an average of 2.37 per appearance. In this way, the strong defensive scheme led by coach Tite will be tested.
But, by paying great attention to offensive actions, Bolívar is also more exposed in defense, which can make life easier for Flamengo’s attackers. In the Libertadores, the Bolivian team conceded 2 goals in 2 games, while in the Bolivian Championship they conceded another 13 (average of 1.62).
Bolívar and Flamengo take the field this Wednesday, at the Hernando Siles stadium, in La Paz. The duel starts at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
