SA Bulo Bulo host Academia del Balompie in a bottom-half Bolivian Professional Football League clash on 20 July 2026. Both clubs sit in the lower tier of the standings, but the gap between them tells a clear story: SA Bulo Bulo have managed just two wins from eight league games, collecting six points, while Academia del Balompie sit three places higher on 12 points with four wins. What makes this fixture particularly interesting is the head-to-head record. In their most recent meeting, SA Bulo Bulo won 4-0, yet Academia claimed victory in the two prior encounters. One player worth tracking is Jairo Diego Rojas Montaño, Academia’s forward who has contributed a goal across the last two matches while drawing fouls and creating space. For SA Bulo Bulo, goalkeeper Luca Giossa will be tested heavily given his side’s defensive record, but his five saves in the last recorded match show he can keep the team in games.
Hot stat: Academia del Balompie have registered 28 total shots across their last five matches compared to SA Bulo Bulo’s six, an enormous gap in attacking output that reflects just how one-sided the recent form difference has been.

SA Bulo Bulo vs Academia del Balompie Prediction
SA Bulo Bulo have lost six of their eight league games and have scored just eight goals all season. Their last five matches produced zero goals, and they were beaten 0-5 by Real Potosí in their most recent outing. Academia del Balompie, to be honest, are not a dominant side either, having lost five of nine league games, but their attacking numbers are vastly superior. They scored three goals in each of their last two home fixtures against Independiente Petrolero and Oriente Petrolero, and their overall shot volume, pass accuracy, and corner count all point to a team that actively generates pressure.
The bookmakers price SA Bulo Bulo as heavy favourites at around 58% win probability, which appears generous given their form. We predict Academia del Balompie to win or at minimum keep the game competitive. SA Bulo Bulo average fewer than two fouls per game in the stat window provided and win very few free kicks, meaning they lack the set-piece threat to compensate for their open-play deficiencies. Academia commit 23 fouls across the same window and earn 18 free kicks, suggesting they press hard and disrupt play, which suits a team looking to dominate a passive opponent.
The corner kick disparity is stark. Academia earned 10 corners to SA Bulo Bulo’s three across the last five matches. A corner market leaning toward Academia or an over on total corners looks like a solid secondary angle.
| 🔥 Hot Tip: | Academia del Balompie to score in both halves |
| ⚽ Total Goals: | Over 2.5 |
| 💥 Both Teams To Score: | No |
| 🎯 Total Corners: | Over 7.5 |
Team Analysis
SA Bulo Bulo arrive into this fixture with six points from eight games and a goal difference of minus nine. Their last five results produced zero goals scored and nine conceded, including a 0-5 defeat to Real Potosí in the most recent outing. That loss came against a side with a strong recent run, so context matters, but the 0-2 defeats to Guabira and Universitario de Vinto before that are harder to excuse. Their passing data reveals only 228 accurate passes from 313 attempted across five games, a pass accuracy rate that reflects a team struggling to build play. They recorded just six total shots and three corners in that window. The squad data is also thin, with several key players only appearing in a single match, suggesting rotation or injury disruption under coach Juan Cortés.
Academia del Balompie enter on mixed but more encouraging terms. They won their last outing 3-1 against Independiente Petrolero, following a 1-3 defeat to Real Potosí the week before. Their five-match window shows 28 total shots, 10 corners, 16 interceptions, and 564 accurate passes from 687 attempted, a significantly more coherent side in possession. They have scored four goals in that window and earned a free kick goal, with Alejandro Bejarano in midfield contributing an assist and logging 149 minutes of steady passing output. Coach Jeff Strasser has shaped a team that commits fouls and earns set pieces, which adds variety to their attacking approach. Their red card count across five games is a minor concern for discipline, but the overall picture is a team with far more offensive tools than their hosts.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: SA Bulo Bulo the Favourite
- Moneyline SA Bulo Bulo 1.56–1.57 | Academia del Balompie 4.10–4.60
- Draw 4.00–4.40
The market prices SA Bulo Bulo as clear favourites, but their home record and current form make those odds questionable. With zero goals scored in their last five matches, backing them at 1.56 carries real risk. Academia at 4.10–4.60 represents genuine value for a team that just beat Independiente Petrolero 3-1 and averages nearly five times the shot volume of their hosts. The draw at 4.00 is not without merit, but given SA Bulo Bulo’s inability to score, a goalless draw would be the only realistic draw scenario, and that feels unlikely given Academia’s attacking intensity. We see Academia del Balompie as the value play here.

Possible Starting Lineups
SA Bulo Bulo Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Luca Giossa
- DF: Ramiro Ballivián, Marcelo De Lima Castro, pablo vaca
- MF: Diego Mauricio Mercado Solano, Saulo Guerra, Cristhian Machado
- FW: Rodrigo Mauricio Vargas Castillo
The available data covers only a small portion of the squad, so this lineup reflects the players with confirmed appearances. SA Bulo Bulo appear to set up in a 4-1-4-1 shape, which matches their most used formation across the last five matches. Ramiro Ballivián is the most active defender in the data, logging 90 minutes and three free kicks. Luca Giossa is the only confirmed goalkeeper and will need to produce another strong display given the defensive frailty around him. The team’s low shot count suggests the lone forward, Vargas Castillo, receives very little service.
Academia del Balompie Possible Starting Eleven
- DF: Carlos Jemio, Jean Riascos, Denilson Gutierrez
- MF: Alejandro Bejarano
- FW: Jairo Diego Rojas Montaño
Academia also deploy a 4-1-4-1 system. Alejandro Bejarano is the standout creative presence in the available data, accumulating 83 passes with 75 accurate across two matches and registering an assist. Denilson Gutierrez provides defensive solidity and has been consistent across both tracked appearances. Jairo Diego Rojas Montaño leads the line and already has a goal to his name in this window, making him the primary threat to watch. The red card risk is real given Jean Riascos already picked one up, so Strasser may need to manage discipline carefully.

TipsGG Match Prediction
SA Bulo Bulo have not scored in five consecutive matches, sit bottom three in the league, and were thrashed 0-5 in their last outing. Academia del Balompie, despite their inconsistency, outperform their hosts in every measurable attacking category: shots, corners, pass accuracy, free kicks, and goals. Their 3-1 win last time out confirms they can perform when the opponent is within reach of their level. We predict Academia del Balompie to win this match. The value lies with the away side at odds of 4.10–4.60, and over 2.5 goals is a reasonable supporting bet given Academia’s shot volume and SA Bulo Bulo’s inability to stay organised at the back. Perhaps the scoreline will not be as wide as their last head-to-head meeting, but a win for Academia looks the most likely outcome here.
