Team Analysis
This Copa Sudamericana Round of 16 second leg will be held at the high-altitude home of Cienciano in Cusco, Peru. The home team will face Bolivian powerhouse Bolivar. With Bolivar having won the first leg 2-0 at their home ground, Cienciano must give their all in this match to turn the tie around. Bolivar is currently in great form, ranking high in the Bolivian league. Their offensive power is formidable, scoring five or more goals in two of their last five matches, showcasing a strong attack. In contrast, Cienciano's form has been mixed, with recent results being inconsistent. However, they are more stable when playing at home, where their defense is difficult to break down. It's worth noting that Cienciano holds a significant high-altitude advantage in Cusco, which will be crucial for them to mount a comeback.
Player Situation
Bolivar's key players are their strikers, whose excellent recent form guarantees goals for the team. Their midfielders also maintain a pass accuracy above 87%, ensuring a fluid attack. For Cienciano, the players did not perform at their best in the first leg, but they will rely on their central midfielders, such as Claudio Torrejón and Christian Neira, to connect the attack and defense in an attempt to break the deadlock.
Nowgoal Prediction
Given that Bolivar has a two-goal lead, they are likely to adopt a more conservative strategy, while Cienciano must go on the offensive. Nonetheless, Cienciano's home advantage at high altitude cannot be ignored, as it will make Bolivar very uncomfortable. We predict that Cienciano will leverage their home advantage to launch a strong counter-attack and ultimately win the match.
Prediction: Home team win (2:1)
