Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Audax Italiano & Bolívar face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Sudamericana. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
1-1-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Bolívar when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those three matches are 3-3 (scored/conceded).
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Audax Italiano form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Copa Sudamericana for Audax Italiano, as the manager F. Meneghini led his troops to eliminate Real Garcilaso, and reach the 2nd Round. Italiano was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Copa Sudamericana. Botafogo was too strong.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo as Audax Italiano have scored 11 goals to get 14 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Primera Division are 4-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Italiano drew their last game, 2-2 away at Universidad Chile. Ahead of that match, Italiano won a home game hosting O'Higgins (2-1).
Italiano salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Universidad Chile, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in J. Henríquez equalizing.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Primera Division game versus Everton in only four days. This game is also played here at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo.
A decent goal production from Italiano in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. From these home matches, Audax Italiano have conceded only 6 goals.
Bolívar form and stats
Bolívar's mission in Copa Sudamericana last season failed in the 2nd round against Deportivo Cali.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bolívar so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose).
Home advantage was not enough for Bolívar in their previous game, as they lost their Copa Libertadores-match, hosting Guaraní, 2-3. A 0-5 defeat away at Palmeiras before that.
Late heartbreak for Bolívar in the Guaraní match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.
The Bolívar manager C. Vivas has got the team scoring on the road, with 12 away goals in 6 league matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bolívar have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
