TODAY brings a chance of redemption and despite the overall poor quality of the card there are a few chinks of light to explore.
Absolute stinker of a Friday after a good week – I was stung by lack of goals in the Dutch Nations League game and again in the CONCACAF match in Mexico.
Royal Pari v Club Destroyers (8pm)
The Bolivian top-flight title race remains wide open but outsiders Royal Pari can sneak back into the driving seat with a win against Destroyers to take them a point clear of San Jose and Bolivar.
The hosts have won 4 of their last 5 scoring 4, 3 and 3 team goals across their last 3 home matches in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
Perhaps an even bigger indicator of their attacking prowess comes from their last visit to La Paz where they were involved in an outrageous 12-goal thriller scoring a staggering 5 times – something no team has done in the 8 years I have followed South American football with only San Jose managing 4 back in 2012!
Destroyers look destined for the drop as they sit a tied 2nd from bottom with an extra game played over fellow strugglers Potosi and Universitario and with 8 losses on the bounce and a run that sees them winless in 18 on the road I can’t see much hope for them this evening.
I’m taking Royal Pari to put Destroyers to the sword here and 2 selections stand out.
