Bolivar vs Gremio is available to watch live in the United States. The TV channel and live stream options for this Copa Sudamericana fixture are listed below.
Bolivar and Gremio meet in the Copa Sudamericana, with the Bolivian side hosting the Brazilian outfit in what shapes up as a critical continental fixture for both clubs.
Bolivar, managed by Vladimir Soria, head into this game off the back of a convincing 4-0 win over Guabira in the Bolivian Primera Division. That result snapped a difficult run that had included two defeats in the Copa Libertadores and a loss in the league, so momentum is building at just the right time.
Gremio arrive in uncertain form. Luis Castro's side lost 2-1 to Mirassol in Serie A on July 17, their second defeat in the league in recent weeks, and they sit second in Group F of the Copa Sudamericana standings heading into this contest.
The Brazilian club has shown flashes of quality, winning 3-2 against Santos in Serie A and beating Palestino 2-0 in the Copa Sudamericana earlier in the campaign. But inconsistency has been a persistent problem, and back-to-back losses will have raised questions in the dressing room.
Bolivar will draw confidence from their home advantage and from the energy that came with the Guabira result. Soria's squad knows that a strong performance here could significantly alter their continental prospects.
For Gremio, a positive result on the road would ease pressure after a difficult domestic run. Castro will need a sharper defensive display than his side has produced lately.

Form
Bolivar's last five matches produced one win, one draw, and three defeats. Their most recent result was a 4-0 victory over Guabira in the Primera Division on July 18. They also drew 1-1 with The Strongest before that, though their Copa Libertadores campaign brought successive defeats, including a 1-3 loss to Independiente Rivadavia and a 2-1 reverse against Fluminense. Across the five games, Bolivar scored 11 goals and conceded eight.
Gremio's last five matches returned two wins, one draw, and two defeats. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-1 loss to Mirassol in Serie A on July 17. They beat Santos 3-2 in the league and won 2-0 against Palestino in the Copa Sudamericana, but also drew 2-2 with Montevideo City Torque in the same competition. Gremio scored nine goals across those five matches and conceded eight, reflecting a side that creates chances but has struggled to keep clean sheets.
Head-to-Head Record
The two clubs have met twice in recorded history, both encounters coming in the 2003 Copa Libertadores. The most recent of those meetings took place on April 10, 2003, when Bolivar won 1-0 at home. In the earlier leg on March 13, 2003, Gremio won 1-0 on their own ground. Each side claimed one victory across the two matches, with the tie level on goals.
Standings
In Copa Sudamericana Group F, Gremio currently sit in second place. Bolivar's group position is not listed in the available standings data.
