Gremio vs Bolivar is available to watch live in the United States. The TV channel and live stream options for this Copa Sudamericana fixture are listed below.
Gremio host Bolivar in the Copa Sudamericana, with Luis Castro's side facing a Bolivian outfit that has already beaten them once in this campaign.
The two clubs met just days ago, with Bolivar winning 3-2 in La Paz on July 23. That result leaves Gremio under pressure in Group F, and a second defeat to the same opponent would seriously damage their continental ambitions.
For Gremio, the domestic picture is no more encouraging. Castro's squad have taken one point from their last three Serie A matches, drawing 1-1 with Fluminense on July 26 after back-to-back league defeats to Mirassol and Corinthians. They sit second in Copa Sudamericana Group F, but their form across all competitions has been fragile.
Bolivar arrive in Porto Alegre with genuine confidence. Vladimir Soria's side have won three of their last five matches, including that Copa Sudamericana victory over Gremio and a 4-0 demolition of Guabira in the Bolivian Primera Division. They beat Real Potosi 2-1 as recently as July 26, arriving here on the back of a winning run.
Gremio will need to produce a sharper performance than they managed in the first leg, where they conceded three goals and were unable to hold on despite taking the game to their opponents. Castro will demand a tighter defensive shape.
