Independiente Petrolero is the sensational champion of Bolivia. "El Matador" at one time played at a fairly good level. And even at the end of the last century, they made the way to international tournaments. But after that there was a pause of 18 years in the second division of Bolivia. And only after winning there in 2020, it turned out to return to the Professional Division. And immediately win there, sensationally overtaking all the usual favorites. True, in the new national championship draw, the trophy owner started rather mediocre, losing points a lot and often. Also, the "gold" of Bolivia allowed to try their hand at the main tournament of South America - Copa Libertadores. In the 1st round, Independiente played at home with Emelek, and even opened the scoring in the 88th minute. But they gave the opponent to recoup for the remaining time
Palmeiras is certainly a regular at the Copa, but Independiente Petrolero is his debutant. Not surprisingly, this will be the first meeting of this pair of clubs. Independiente Petrolero is much weaker and has no chance to offer a battle.
Prediction for the match: Palmeiras to win with -2.0 handicap.
