Interesting info here.

Bolivar is the current leader of the group after beating Cerro Porteño and Palmeiras, which was a big surprise. The home advantage (altitude of La Paz - 3600 meters) was crucial for this victory, because Palmeiras is a very strong team. The victory here could be a big step for the ⅛ finals.

In the league their performances have been much worse, because they have been rotating players in order to be at 100% in the Libertadores. Furthermore, at home they are a very strong team.

On the other hand Barcelona is coming here with a lot of problems. Seven starters are out for this match: Javier Burrai, Paco Rodríguez, Mario Pineida, Luis Arce, Damián Díaz and Fernando Gaibor. Also Gabriel Cortez who can’t leave the country.

Damian Diaz is the current topscorer of the team (8 goals in 11 league games), while the rest are usually important players or starters. Because of this, coach Alfaro Moreno has been forced to call some youngsters to travel and complete the squad.

Furthermore, the team is also using starters in the league as they are fighting for the title. So Bolivar will definitely have a better pace here.

The previous game between both teams ended 2:1 for Barcelona, where Damian Diaz was the best player of the game and Barcelona won deservedly. But here will be very different: Barcelona will struggle in the altitude and without several key players.

Hosts are strongly favorites. They are a very strong home team and Barcelona has been a poor visitor recently, with only one victory in their last 9 official games, which is also a signal that they struggle playing in the altitude of some teams form the local league of Ecuador.

这里有有趣的信息。

在击败塞罗Porteño和帕尔梅拉斯后，玻利瓦尔成为小组第一，这是一个很大的惊喜。主场优势(拉巴斯海拔3600米)对这场胜利至关重要，因为帕尔梅拉斯是一支非常强大的球队。这里的胜利可能是迈向决赛的一大步。

在联赛中，他们的表现要差得多，因为他们一直在轮换球员，以便在解放者队中保持100%的状态。此外，在主场他们是一支非常强大的球队。

另一方面，巴塞罗那带着很多问题来到这里。7名首发球员将缺席本场比赛:哈维尔·布拉伊、帕科Rodríguez、马里奥·皮涅达、路易斯·阿尔塞、Damián Díaz和费尔南多·盖博尔。加布里埃尔·科尔特斯也不能离开这个国家。

达米安·迪亚兹是目前球队的最佳射手(11场联赛打进8球)，而其他球员通常都是重要球员或首发球员。正因为如此，主教练阿尔法罗·莫雷诺不得不征召一些年轻人去旅行，以完善球队阵容。

此外，球队也在联赛中使用首发球员，因为他们正在争夺冠军。所以玻利瓦尔在这里肯定会有更好的节奏。

两队之前的比赛巴萨2:1结束，达米安·迪亚兹是比赛中最好的球员，巴萨当之无愧地赢得了比赛。但这里将是非常不同的:巴塞罗那将在高海拔地区挣扎，而且缺少几名关键球员。

主持人是最受欢迎的。他们是一支非常强大的主队，而巴塞罗那最近的客队表现不佳，在最近的9场正式比赛中只取得了一场胜利，这也表明他们在厄瓜多尔当地联赛的一些球队的高度上打得很艰难。
