Nacional Potosi host Blooming in a mid-table Bolivian Professional Football League clash that carries more weight than the standings suggest. Nacional sit 9th with 21 points from 17 games, while Blooming are just one point behind in 10th with a game in hand. Both sides need points badly to stay in contention for the upper half, and the last meeting between these two in this very competition ended 2-1 in Blooming’s favour, making Nacional eager to settle the score on home soil.
Two players worth tracking in this fixture are Guilmar Centella Bazan for Blooming, who has scored 2 goals and attempted 10 shots across his last five appearances, and Maximiliano Núñez for Nacional Potosi, who leads the attacking line and has registered 6 shots with 2 offside runs, signalling consistent involvement in forward play.
Nacional Potosi’s hot stat: they put five goals past Tomayapo in their most recent home outing, their highest-scoring performance in the last five matches and a clear sign of attacking confidence heading into this game.

Nacional Potosi vs Blooming Prediction
Nacional Potosi are the clear favourites here, backed by bookmakers at around 61% win probability and odds averaging 1.48. At home, they have the structure and firepower to cause problems for a Blooming side that has won just once in their last eight matches. Blooming’s away record is poor, and their recent 3-0 defeat to Oriente Petrolero underlines how vulnerable they are on the road.
Nacional play a 4-2-3-1 that prioritises vertical transitions and relies on their attacking trio to create chances. With 95 total shots across their last five matches compared to Blooming’s 57, they generate significantly more volume in the final third. Blooming commit more fouls on average (65 vs 50 over five games) and have picked up more yellow cards (8 vs 7), which suggests they often resort to defensive fouling when pressed. Nacional’s pass accuracy is also higher (1879 accurate passes vs 1520), meaning they can control tempo and force Blooming into reactive phases. We predict Nacional Potosi to win this match, and the attacking stats support backing goals from the home side.

Team Analysis
Nacional Potosi’s form over the last 30 days reads three wins and three losses, with no draws, showing a volatile but competitive side. Their last five matches produced mixed results: a 5-1 win over Tomayapo, a 0-2 home loss to Universitario de Vinto, a 3-0 win over Independiente Petrolero, a 2-0 win over Academia del Balompie, and a 1-2 loss to SA Bulo Bulo. The pattern suggests they perform well against lower-ranked opposition but can be caught off guard by teams that press aggressively. The 5-1 demolition of Tomayapo in their most recent game is the form highlight and speaks to their potential when they get going on home ground.
Blooming’s last 30 days have been difficult: one win, four losses, and three draws from eight matches, a 13% win rate that paints a clear picture. Their last five results include a 0-3 loss to Oriente Petrolero, a 1-1 draw with Real Oruro, a 1-1 draw with Guabira, a 2-5 loss to Independiente Petrolero, and a 3-0 win over Aurora. That 2-5 collapse against Independiente is particularly alarming, and the 0-3 result in their most recent fixture suggests the defensive issues are not resolved. Roberto Hinojosa leads their creativity with 3 assists and 1 goal from midfield, and Bayron Garcés tops the shot count with 16 attempts in five games, though a conversion rate of just 1 goal shows finishing is an issue.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Nacional Potosi the Favourite
- Moneyline Nacional Potosi 1.48 | Blooming 5.30
- Draw 4.00
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The moneyline odds on Nacional Potosi are tight at around 1.47-1.55 across bookmakers, reflecting how strongly the market backs them. Blooming’s price of 5.00-5.75 is generous for a team that can score (they did put three past Aurora recently), but their away form makes that price fair. The draw at around 4.00 looks overpriced given how one-sided the form gap is. We see the best value in backing Nacional Potosi on the moneyline at 1.50 or above, with the 5-1 home win fresh in their legs and Blooming arriving in poor shape.
Possible Starting Lineups
Nacional Potosi Possible Starting Eleven
- DF: Oscar Baldomar, Luis Eduardo Demiquel Banegas
- MF: Luis Pavia, Juan Batista
- FW: Maximiliano Núñez, Maicon Solis, C. Abastoflor, Weslen Junior
Coach Eduardo Villegas is expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1, the formation used across all five recent matches. Luis Eduardo Demiquel Banegas anchors the backline with 209 passes and 3 interceptions, providing calm distribution from deep. In attack, Maximiliano Núñez is the player to watch: he leads the line with 6 shots and consistent movement, and his ability to draw defenders opens space for the supporting forwards. Weslen Junior, despite only two appearances, already has 5 shots and 6 free kicks earned, suggesting he could feature from the start if fit.
Blooming Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Braulio Uraezana Cunaendi
- DF: Denilson Durán Zabala, Juan Valverde, Marc Enoumba, José María Carrasco
- MF: Richard Spenhay, Guilmar Centella Bazan, Moisés Villarroel, Roberto Hinojosa, Auli Oliveros
- FW: Bayron Garcés
Erwin Sánchez also deploys a 4-2-3-1, and Blooming’s best hope lies in their midfield creativity. Roberto Hinojosa (3 assists, 1 goal, 17 free kicks won) pulls strings in the number ten role, and Guilmar Centella Bazan is the most dangerous attacker with 2 goals and 19 free kicks won from midfield. Bayron Garcés leads the line with 16 shots in five games, though his conversion rate needs to improve for Blooming to threaten here. Braulio Uraezana Cunaendi made 11 saves in just two appearances, which may be the most telling stat about how much work the goalkeeper is expected to do.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Nacional Potosi enter this match with superior shot volume, better passing accuracy, and a home crowd behind them after a five-goal performance in their last outing. Blooming’s defensive fragility, evidenced by conceding five goals to Independiente and three to Oriente in back-to-back away fixtures, makes them a risky proposition on the road. Nacional’s 4-2-3-1 creates width and depth that Blooming’s high foul rate (65 in five games) will struggle to contain without picking up cards. We predict a Nacional Potosi win, with both teams scoring and the match going over 2.5 goals. The home side’s attacking momentum is too strong for a Blooming outfit that has not won away from home with any consistency this season.
