Atlético-MG boast strong record in Bolivia, check out the stats | OneFootball

Atlético-MG faces Bolívar at the Hernando Siles Stadium for the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarter-finals. Despite the altitude, Galo has good numbers playing above sea level and will try to maintain its positive record this Wednesday at 7 PM (Brasília time).

In official competitions, Atlético-MG has faced Bolivian teams ten times in history – five at home and five away. Away from Minas Gerais, in the altitude, Galo won three matches and lost two.

Knockout Stage History

In knockout confrontations, Atlético-MG has faced Bolivian teams only twice. In the quarter-finals of the now-defunct Copa Conmebol in 1998, they defeated Jorge Wilstermann 1-0 in Cochabamba but fell in the semi-final to Rosario Central.

The second encounter was in 2017, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Against the same Jorge Wilstermann, Galo lost 1-0 in the first leg away and couldn't overturn the result at Mineirão, being eliminated. The Bolivian team was subsequently thrashed by River Plate in the quarter-finals.

And Bolívar?

Atlético-MG and Bolívar have faced each other only twice in history, both in the group stage of the 2000 Libertadores. Galo won 1-0 in Belo Horizonte but suffered a 4-0 defeat in La Paz. Both advanced to the next stage, with the Bolivians leading the group. That year, the Minas Gerais club was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Corinthians.
