Bolivar vs Internacional Prediction and Betting Tips

Bolivar and Internacional get the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores underway when they lock horns at the Estadio Hernando Siles on Tuesday.

Benat San Jose’s men are on a blistering run of 11 back-to-back home wins across all competitions and will look to continue in the same vein.

Bolivar returned to winning ways on Saturday when they edged out FC Libertad 3-0 in the Bolivian Division Professional.

Prior to that, San Jose’s men suffered a 2-1 league defeat to Club Aurora on August 12, four days before claiming a 2-0 victory over Jorge Wilstermann to finish first in Group A of the Bolivian Copa de la Division Professional.

Bolivar return to the Copa Libertadores, where they finished as runners-up in Group C before seeing off Athletico Paranaense on penalties in the round of 16 following a 3-3 aggregate draw.

Like the hosts, Internacional needed penalties to see off River Plate in their Copa Libertadores last-16 clash after the sides played out a 2-2 draw over two legs.

Eduardo Coudet’s men enjoyed an unbeaten group-stage campaign, picking up three wins and three draws to finish as Group B winners, one point above second-placed Nacional.

Back at home, Internacional have struggled for results in the Brazilian Serie A, where they are on an eight-match winless run, picking up four draws and losing four, including Saturday’s 1-0 defeat against Fortaleza.
