The Bolivian team has no chance in today’s competition, as it has lost the two games played. While Gimnasia de Comodoro Rivadavia will go for the epic against Peñarol tomorrow. The Uruguayans are unbeaten with two wins and no losses, in addition, there is also Colegio Los Leones in the competition, which defeated “Verde” in their debut.
If Gimnasia wins tomorrow, it should be by a good margin not to worry about the issue of points in case of a possible triple tie between Peñarol, Los Leones and the Comodorenses.
