Sao Paulo
Bolívar
São Paulo hosts Bolívar in the second leg of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana round on 19 August 2026. The first encounter in La Paz ended 1–1, leaving everything to play for in this decisive fixture. São Paulo enters as the stronger side on paper but arrives in poor form, while Bolívar demonstrated solid control and attacking intent in the opening match despite failing to convert their dominance into a win.
Form and H2H
São Paulo is struggling through a six-match winless run across all competitions. Recent results include draws against Corinthians (1–1) and Flamengo (1–1), plus defeats to Grêmio (1–2) and Atlético Paranaense (1–2). The Brazilian club managed only 36% possession and 11 shots in the first leg, creating limited clear-cut chances. Bolívar, conversely, arrives in excellent condition. The Bolivian outfit has won three of their last domestic matches and controlled the opening encounter with 64% possession and 22 shots. They demonstrated disciplined defending against a superior opponent and remain capable of frustrating São Paulo's attack.
Best Bet
Bolívar's handicap (+1.5) offers value given São Paulo's current form and the visitor's proven ability to compete at this level. The hosts have won just once in six outings and regularly concede against comparable opposition. Bolívar's solid defensive organization and attacking threat make them unlikely to suffer a heavy defeat. At 22Bet, this market is available at competitive odds.
Odds to Watch
São Paulo are favoured at 22Bet with 1 priced at 1.439, while the draw sits at 4.95 and a Bolívar win at 8.05. Given the hosts' recent struggles and Bolívar's form, the away side's resilience should not be underestimated in what promises to be a tightly contested second leg.
