Copa Libertadores: k.o. March 21 Wed 00:45
Real Potosi 2:2 Maracaibo FT
Maracaibo Unlikely To Have A Head For Heights In Bolivia
The city of Potosi in Bolivia is about as high as it gets when it comes to playing top-class football, being over 4000 metres above sea level.Real Potosi, and Bolivian football in general, are unlikely to make a major impression on the world stage any time soon, but playing at altitude in the Andes does give them a significant advantage in their home matches against foreign opposition.
That should certainly be the case this weekwhen Venezuela's UA Maracaibo are the visitors for a Copa Libertadores group qualifier. The game is probably going to have little bearing on who qualifies from the group, with the Brazilian pair of Flamengo and Parana the most likely to progress, but with the Venezuelans likely to struggle physically and with their own chances of qualification already all but over, the 8-15 available on the Real Potosi win with Bet365 still appears to be worth taking.
