Blooming vs Audax Italiano Prediction: A. Italiano are clear favorite in this match

In the 5th round of Copa Sudamericana in matches in the E group Bolivian team Blooming are welcoming Audax Italiano. Blooming are a huge disappointment in Copa Sudamericana this season as they lost all 4 matches so far. Visitors also had a rough start of the season in this competition, but with 2 wins in 2 matches, they are back in the race for 1st place in the group. Blooming’s hopes were high before the start of the competition as they are back in it after 7 years. But this season isn’t going well for them in Copa Sudamericana and in the domestic championship. In 4 matches Blooming scored only 2 goals and both in the last match on home ground against the leader of the group Newells Old Boys. A.Italiano are in a much better situation and in this match, they are entering motivated to win in order to escape 3rd placed Santos and secure a place in the next phase.

The hosts are struggling in the attack all season and it costs them everything, they are already out of Copa Sudamericana, and they are 15th in domestic competition. With 4 defeats in 4 matches, 9 goals conceded, and only 2 scored it’s obvious that this team doesn’t belong in such competition. They will play this match for honor in front of their fans, but their recent performances aren’t promising. However, they started to score goals in recent matches, so the fans can hope to see their team scoring at least one goal.

A. Italiano are doing much better than their opponent. They are in 2nd position in Group E with 2 wins, a draw, and a defeat. As visitors, they played only one match against Santos 0:0. In the league they are in the middle of the table, but their focus is on this match and winning 3 points here. In the last round, they will travel to Argentina to play against Newells Old Boys, which is always difficult, so the points from this match are a must for the Chilean team.

The visitors are favorite in this match, and even though there aren’t any significant absences in both teams, this should be and easy match for them. Blooming aren’t giving any signs of life and they are only waiting for this competition to end and their main focus in improving in the domestic competition. Considering their last matches and performances we can expect them to score in this match at home, so betting on both teams to score is the best option for this match.
