Bolivar preview: Hoping to turn the tie around
With three wins in their last five games, Bolivar have done well recently and that can be said for their season overall since they've managed to finish top of their group in Copa Libertadores. In fact, they've finished ahead of Flamengo, who they also beat at home then, so that can give them confidence ahead of the second leg against the Brazilian team despite being two goals down after the first leg.
Predicted lineup: Lampe (GK), Je. Sagredo, Orihuela, Anderson, Jo. Sagredo, Justiniano, Savio, Saucedo, R. Vaca, Rodriguez & Oviedo

Flamengo preview: Can they avoid another loss in Bolivia?
While Flamengo finished behind Bolivar in group stages and while they lost in Bolivia 2-1, they also beat them at home twice this season. Their second win was certainly the more important one since Flamengo now travel to Bolivia with a two-goal lead and if they can hold on to it, they will make it to the quarter-finals of Copa Libertadores.
When it comes to team news, Matias Vina and Everton are the only players on Flamengo's injury list right now.
