Colombian club Atletico Junior will host Club Bolivar, from Bolivia in the return leg of their third round Copa Liberatdores tie on Friday as the two fight it out for a place at the group stages. Atletico Junior trails 2-1 going to the game and needs at least a 1-0 win to advance, which will call for an improvement on the last three matches, as they head here winless in that run. In their last match, in the domestic league, they were held to a 0-0 draw by Deportivo Pasto, which limits them to one win in five matches ahead of this game. With just one goal in the last three matches, Junior have the attacking issue to address but will hope they do the job at home, where they are unbeaten in the last six, winning three. In the Copa Libertadores, Junior have no clean sheet in the last 10 matches and have lost three of the last five. They’ve conceded two or more goals in three of the five Libertadores matches and it hasn’t been better at home either, with three losses in five in this competition and without a clean sheet.

Bolivar’s lead is not as comfortable as they’d have wished for, but having beaten Junior in each of their three meetings they’ll be confident going to this clash. They’ll also be fresher going to this game, having had no game after facing Junior in the first leg. Bolivar head here with four straight wins and have scored two or more goals in three of them, while keeping three clean sheets. They’ve scored in each of their last five matches, all a total of 11 goals, and conceded four. The back to back wins Bolivar carry to this game in the Copa Libertadores, remarkably brought to an end a run of five winless matches in the competition. However, they have no win in the last four away matches in this competition, losing three in the process.
