Palmeiras and Bolivar are set to square off this Thursday at Allianz Parque in a pivotal Group G encounter of the Copa Libertadores.
The Brazilian giants head into the clash with momentum on their side, having edged Sao Paulo 1-0 in their recent Brasileirão outing. Bolívar, meanwhile, arrive on the back of a convincing 2-0 win over Aurora in Bolivian league play.
The last time these two met, Palmeiras edged Bolívar in a pulsating 3-2 battle, and they haven't looked back since. The Brazilian giants top Group G with a flawless record, collecting the full 12 points from four outings.
The Bolivian outfit, on the other hand, are teetering on the brink. With just four points to their name and sitting at the foot of the table, the Bolivian side faces a do-or-die showdown in Sao Paulo if they're to keep their knockout stage hopes alive.

Bolivar team news
Bolivar have been dealt a massive blow just days before their crucial Libertadores showdown with Palmeiras, star midfielder Ramiro Vaca has been provisionally suspended after a failed doping test. The club confirmed the news on Tuesday following an official notification from CONMEBOL.
The 25-year-old, who recently played a key role in Bolívar’s 2-0 win over Aurora in domestic action, was shaping up to be central to their game plan in Palmeiras. Vaca, tied as the tournament’s top scorer with five goals, has been Bolivar's standout performer in the campaign.
