Command Analysis

Palmeiras

Current form
Palmeiras turned out to be far from the most difficult group of the Copa Libertadores, where it was initially considered the main and undisputed favorite. The green-and–whites had no problems justifying this status - Abel Ferreira's team had four consecutive victories in four rounds. Thus, with 12 points, Palmeiras leads the group and has already secured a ticket to the playoffs, where it is guaranteed to break through from the first place - the second Cerro Porteño has five points less and the blue–garnet have already played their match in the fifth round.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bruno and Mikael are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Palmeiras won all four matches in the group
- Palmerjas has not conceded in the last four matches.
Approximate line–up: Waverton - Fuchs, Lucas, Gomez – Vanderlan, Martinez, Estevao, Torres, Guye – Roque, Allan.

Bolivar

Current form
Bolivar definitely expected to impose a fight on competitors for a ticket to the playoffs - if there was simply nothing to oppose Palmeiras to the Bolivians, then it was realistic to compete for the second place in the playoffs against Cerro Porteño and Sporting Crystal. However, Flavio Robatto's team is blatantly failing the group stage and is still in last place in the group with three points. There is still a chance to compete for the second place, the second Cerro Porteño has four points more, but the Paraguayans have already played their match in the fifth round.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no problems with the composition of the guests.
Interesting betting trends

2.79Tip and bets
Bolivar is failing the group stage so far, but today there is one last chance to save the situation – three points will allow the Bolivians to seriously count on a second place in the playoffs. Obviously, the guests will be as aggressive as possible in front and will take risks – it will be very difficult to beat back Palmeiras, who has already decided everything for himself in the group. At the same time, the green and white can also afford to play openly on their own field, without pressure for a result - an exchange of goals in such a duel is almost inevitable, both teams have their trump cards in attack.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with odds of 1.99
Betting on the outcome
Bolivar, to put it mildly, had a weak four rounds in the group, but he will certainly strive to stay in the fight today. There are not many chances of success, but they are there – Palmeiras has already secured victory in the group and is unlikely to play with the most combative squad today, ahead of the green and white championship match against Bragantino, which is much more important. The Bolivians are quite capable of clinging to points, at least they can avoid a major defeat, and Palmeiras is unlikely to seek defeat.
The bet is an Asian handicap (+2) on the Bolivar. This bet is offered for 1.79
Betting on corners
Palmeiras will obviously play openly at home, with an eye to attack, but Bolivar only needs a win today and the visitors will also play actively ahead - there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
