Real Santa Cruz vs The Strongest Prediction: Will the Home Advantage be of Any Use?

Going in the 9th round of the Bolivian Primera Division, we have The Strongest leading the charts with 7 wins from 8 games played. On the other hand, Real Santa Cruz placed at the 10th spot with just 3 wins from their 8 matches. Now, The Strongest will be playing at the home turf of Real Santa Cruz, which is meant to be a belter of a contest, but can the home side gather courage and defeat the table toppers? When the las time these two sides played against each other, the game ended as a draw (1-1).

In their last game, Real Santa Cruz was defeated by Always Ready (4-0), where scoring a single goal became impossible. After bagging two back-to-back wins previously, Real Santa Cruz showed some potential but couldn’t carry their consistent form. From the 6 games played between them, Real Santa Cruz leads the head-to-head statistics with three wins over The Strongest. With a goal-scoring average of almost 1.2 goals per game, Real Santa Cruz can try to get the lead as early as possible. Moreover, they have remained unbeaten in their last 4 home games.
