The Strongest vs Bolivar Prediction: Two Best Teams in the Division Squaring Up

In the upcoming fixture of Bolivian Primera Division, Matchday 3, The Strongest will take on Bolivar at the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz. The two sides have started the season with consecutive wins in their respective fixtures, making the upcoming matchup equally submissive and interesting. Bolivar and The Strongest have competed against each other in over 50 fixtures. The last time these two teams played against each other, the match resulted in a draw (4-4). Since 2022, the two have played 4 matches and Bolivar has won on two occasions. Hence, I am predicting a result-oriented game tomorrow. 

Carrying the winning run forward, The Strongest is coming off a win against Independiente Petrolero (1-4), in which Enrique Triverio, Junior Arias, and Luciano Ursino did the scoring. The Strongest home average is around 2.60 goals per game, whereas the conceding rate is 1.60 goals per match. Hence, The Strongest is likely to play with an attacking approach and score over 2 goals against Bolivar. In the last 12 games, The Strongest have managed to win the first half of play, which is quite pivotal in terms of momentum shift. Moreover, The Strongest carries an unbeaten run from the last 6 home fixtures. In the recent 4 matches against Bolivar, The Strongest has scored 8 goals at an average of 2 goals per game.

Going in the matchup, Bolivar is coming off a win against Royal Pari (3-1), in which Lucas Chavez, Gabriel Vilamil, and Carmelo Algaranaz scored goals. Taking the momentum forward, Bolivar will be looking to keep up with the scoring average. For the match against The Strongest, Alberto Guitian might be unavailable for selection tomorrow. The chances of Bolivia scoring against The Strongest are decent, as Bolivia has enjoyed 15 consecutive away fixtures with a goal or more. However, they have also conceded a goal or more in its last 10 away fixtures. With a goal scoring average of 1.80 goals per game in away matches, Bolivar is likely to counter attack The Strongest. 

For The Strongest, Luciano Ursino has been spotted in the two opening games of this season. Hence, I am expecting him to keep up with his individual scoring in the contest. The Strongest’s last 6 league matches have resulted in a total of over 2.5 goals and both team scoring. Hence, the upcoming matchup is likely to have a pretty similar result. I will back the home side to win and score over 2 goals in order to win the competitive fixture against Bolivar. The match could also result in a draw if Bolivar is able to restrict the home side to a total of 2 goals and score in return.

• The Strongest to Win for 2.37
• Both Teams to Score - Yes for 1.59
• Total Over 2.5 for 1.75
