Nacional Potosi vs Bolivar Prediction: Expecting Bolivar to Bounce Back

In the upcoming fixture of the Bolivian Primera Division, Matchday 11, Nacional Potosi will be hosting Bolivar at the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz. With both sides standing tall in the points table standings, the upcoming matchup is likely to be an exciting one. Bolivar stands 2nd with 6 wins and 19 points, whereas Nacional Potosi stands 4th with 5 wins and 16 points. The two sides last played in October 2022 and Bolivar registered a comfortable win (3-1). From the last four matches played between the two, Bolivar has won twice and Potosi has been successful only once. Moreover, Bolivar dominates the overall head-to-head stats against Nacional Potosi. 

Nacional Potosi - Coming off a Win Against Independiente Petrolero (WWDLW)

Going in the matchup, Nacional Potosi is coming off a marginal win against Independiente Petrolero (0-1), in which Tommy Tobar Reyes scored the only goal in the 69th minute of play. Before that, Nacional Potosi registered a comfortable home win against Universitario de Vinto (2-1), in which Daniel Mancilla and Jorge Andia scored goals. With 3 wins, a draw, and a defeat from the last five played, Nacional Potosi will be looking to orchestrate a grip against Bolivar in the upcoming home fixture. When playing at home, Nacional Potosi has been successful only once in the last two matches. The home side has scored 5 goals in the last 5 matches of the Primera Division, averaging 1.00 goals per game. Against the scoring average, Nacional Potosi has conceded just 3 goals in the last 5, which is quite phenomenal. 

Bolivar - Has Lost Two Consecutive Matches (LLDLW)

Going in the matchup, Bolivar will be looking to end its losing streak across all competitions. In the last outing of Primera Division, Bolivar lost to Jorge Wilstermann (1-3). Ronnie Fernandez scored the only goal, and that too on a penalty. Carlos Melgar and Patricio Rodriguez were suspended on red cards and will be missing out in the upcoming match as well. Bolivar also lost to Barcelona SC (2-1), playing away from home. The upcoming away match will be a challenge for the visitors; however, I am expecting them to bounce back and register a win. With three defeats in the last five matches played across all competitions, Bolivar will be feeling the heat. In terms of scoring, Bolivar has scored 7 goals in the last five, averaging 1.40 goals.
