Bitesize Prediction: Bolivar vs Cienciano – 13/08/25

Competition: Copa Sudamericana

Market: Bolivar win

Odds: 4/7 @ BetUS

Looking to claim a first-leg advantage late on Wednesday night, Bolivar will welcome Cienciano to the Estadio Hernando Siles.

Starting with the hosts, while Bolivar might have a real battle on their hands in the race to defend their domestic crown this year, La Academia are enjoying what has been a recent flurry. Last seen over the weekend putting in another dominant display as they stormed their way to a 5-0 romp at home against Tomayapo, Flavio Robatto’s men will be seeking a repeat performance here. Extending on their Copa Sudamericana adventure on July 23rd as they secured a thumping 6-0 aggregate win against Chilean outfit Palestino, the Sky Blues will be confident of claiming a first-leg advantage in midweek. Now winning seven of their previous nine appearances across all competitions, Bolivar will also be excited by their continued dominance on home soil. In fact, Wednesday’s hosts have won five of their last six showdowns at the Estadio Hernando Siles – a run that stems back to June 22nd.

As for the visitors, while Cienciano might have secured a thumping 3-0 victory at home against Los Chankas earlier in the month, it appears that might have just been a minor boost for Carlos Desio’s side. Despite snatching a last-gasp 1-1 stalemate against Comerciantes Unidos over the weekend, Wednesday’s guests have mustered just a single win from any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions. Failing to find any kind of fluidity and not registering consecutive victories since the start of May, Desio’s struggling squad have also gained a reputation for their extended issues outside of Cusco. Getting August underway with a 2-1 defeat against Deportivo Garcilaso, Cienciano have remarkably claimed just a single away victory within 90 minutes over the past 11 months. Given what has been a real recent gulf in class between the Copa Sudamericana rivals, we are backing a home win late on Wednesday night.
