Bolívar v Grêmio decide São Paulo's Sul-Americana rivals: time, TV | OneFootball

São Paulo will learn this Thursday (30) who their opponent will be in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16, coming from the clash between Bolivia’s Bolívar and Grêmio at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Grêmio Arena in Porto Alegre (RS).

In the first leg, at La Paz’s 3,600-meter altitude, Grêmio withstood heavy pressure from the home side but ended up losing 3-2. Now, they will try to overturn the result in front of their fans in a match that will be broadcast live and exclusively on Paramount+ (streaming and pay TV).

A draw sends the Bolivians through to the next round. A Grêmio win by one goal takes the tie to penalties, while a victory by two or more goals puts the Brazilian club into the round of 16.

The winner will face Tricolor over two legs on the base dates of August 12 and 19. The first match will be away from home, and the return leg to decide who advances will be at Morumbi Stadium.

If Grêmio advance, they could face São Paulo twice in a row. In a Brasileirão match already on the schedule, the teams meet on Saturday the 8th in the 22nd round, in the South. If the Rio Grande do Sul side eliminate Bolívar, they will face Tricolor again days later, once more at home.

While Grêmio finished 2nd in Sudamericana Group F with 11 points, behind leaders Montevideo City Torque, Bolívar came from the Libertadores, where they finished 3rd in Group C, thus securing their place in the Sudamericana playoffs.

São Paulo, meanwhile, secured a direct place in the round of 16 by winning Group C with 12 points, going unbeaten with three wins and three draws in the first stage of the South American competition.

Dorival Júnior’s team are going through calmer weeks without matches. The Brasileirão derby against Santos was postponed, and this coming weekend is reserved for Copa do Brasil matches, a tournament from which Tricolor have already been eliminated. Therefore, they will only play again on the 8th, against Grêmio, in the league.
