As part of the third round of the Copa Sudamericana, a match between Bolivar and Ceara is on the program. For more than one reason, the absolute favorite in this match is the host, and I will list just some of the most important ones. The first and possibly the most important is that Bolivar plays their matches at an altitude of 3600 meters and this is a huge problem for the vast majority of teams that come to their field. Another reason, which clearly shows how much Bolivar uses the advantage of the home field, is the results of Bolivar at home. They suffered their last defeat in October last year, and since then they have played 17 more games at home and recorded an incredible 16 wins and only one draw! The third reason, which perhaps helped me the most to decide for this match, is the expected lineup of guests in this match. Ceara enters this match with, it can be said, a reserve team. The rematch of the Copa do Nordeste final match awaits them on Saturday and their coach has decided to leave the most important players in Fortaleza. The group of players who will not play today now includes the first two strikers of the team, Vizeu and Mendoza, two main central defenders Otavio and Messias, as well as several other players from the first team. All these players have not missed a single match since the beginning of March, so it is clear how much the weakened enter this duel. Another interesting fact is that they arrived in La Paz just a few hours before the start of the game, which certainly did not give them enough time to get used to the incredible altitude. 

It is expected that these two teams will have the main say in the first position in the group, but I believe that Bolivar will make the most of the advantage of the home field and that it will make their fight for the first place much easier. They play very offensive football with a lot of shots towards the opponent's goal and I would not be surprised if they scored two goals in the first half in this match.
