Bolívar vs. Palmeiras Storylines
Bolívar started their Copa Libertadores 2020 campaign with a 2-0 away defeat against Guaraní in Paraguay, but then clinched a 2-0 home win over Tigre of Argentina. However, those matches were played in March, more than six months ago.
Palmeiras are probably in better shape, especially due to their unbeaten run in the Brazilian tournament. Also, they lead the Group B after beating Tigre 2-0 in Argentina and Guaraní 3-1 at home. However, they should not underestimate Bolívar, especially for the location of the Estadio Hernando Siles. The stadium is located at an altitude of 3,637 metres (11,932 feet) above sea level, making it one of the highest professional stadiums in the world.
