Bolivar host Palestino at the Estadio Hernando Siles on Tuesday (May 28) in the final round of the Copa Libertadores group stage. The hosts need a point to guarantee top spot in Group E.
They were thrashed 4-0 by Flamengo in their last game and were fortunate not to have lost by an even larger margin after being on the back foot for much of the game.
Palestino, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the continental showpiece but will advance to the knockouts with maximum points if Flamengo fail to win. They drew 1-1 with Millonarios last time out. They had looked set to be headed toward defeat before Junior Marabel headed home the equaliser in additional time.
