With a fully healthy group available to select from, the Sporting Cristal manager Guillermo Farré doesn’t have any fitness worries at all ahead of this match.
🔮 Prediction
In this game, Bolívar can and should be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
At the same time, Sporting Cristal won’t find it easy to break down their defence although we do reckon that they could well end up getting enough chances to score, too.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Bolívar at full-time.
