Jorge Wilstermann — Bolivar : Match Preview and Prediction for August 25,2025

Current Form and Challenges

The club from Cochabamba approaches this fixture in less than optimal form, especially when considering their league standing. The team currently occupies 15th place, having conceded 38 goals in just 17 matches. Their recent encounter against Independiente Petrolero resulted in a 1:2 defeat, despite managing to score a consolation goal from a penalty, expertly converted by Paraguayan Alex Caceres. Coach Humberto Viviani openly acknowledges that fans are losing patience with such results, and the squad desperately needs points.

A Glimmer of Hope: Recent Head-to-Head

Despite their current difficulties and 13 league losses, one crucial fact cannot be overlooked. The most recent head-to-head clash between these two teams occurred not long ago, on July 28th, in the Paceña Cup. In that particular match, Wilstermann secured a come-from-behind victory with a 2:1 scoreline, and notably, it was an away win. This event suggests that the “Aviadores” possess a clear understanding of how to challenge this formidable opponent.

Fortress Felix Capriles: Home Advantage

The game will be hosted at their home ground, the Estadio Felix Capriles, which serves as an additional advantage. The head-to-head statistics at this venue speak volumes. In 18 of their last 20 home matches against Bolivar, Jorge Wilstermann have not lost by more than a single goal. This consistent pattern has held true over many years.

Bolivar’s Momentum and Offensive Prowess

Bolivar is currently on an upward trajectory. The team has successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana, confidently defeating Peruvian side Cienciano 2:0 away, with an aggregate score of 4:0. In the league, their performance is equally strong; the club sits in 3rd place and boasts one of the most potent offenses in the league, having scored 41 goals in 17 rounds. The players, by their own accounts, are in excellent spirits.

The Demanding Schedule

However, there’s a flip side to this success. Bolivar is operating on a highly demanding schedule. The team only returned to La Paz on August 22nd from Cusco, Peru, where they played their Copa Sudamericana match. Furthermore, on August 27th, they face a crucial national superclásico against The Strongest. Such a congested calendar is bound to impact the physical condition of the players.

Away Form Tendencies

Additionally, away matches for Bolivar are not always straightforward, especially when it comes to securing large-margin victories. There’s a clear trend: in 14 of their last 19 away fixtures, the team has not secured victory by a margin greater than one goal. This pattern persists even in the current tournament, as confirmed by statistics.
