Head-to-head statistics The Strongest - Independiente Petrolero
The Strongest Team Overview
In their previous Professional Division match on , Strongest won away at Nacional Potosi (3:2). The favourites conceded twice in the opening stages of the first half and were then forced to chase the game for around an hour. They managed it: the winning goal came seven minutes before the end of normal time.
Strongest had 51% possession, and the position of being a goal down led to nine shots on target. Their opponents, meanwhile, scored two goals from two shots on target - the defending of one of the title contenders left a lot to be desired in that match.
Nevertheless, the hosts remain one of the most reliable sides in the league. Strongest are the only team without a defeat after 13 rounds. Since the championship resumed, the side have won twice and drawn four times. An average of 1.54 goals scored per game against 0.92 conceded reflects moderate attacking output with an emphasis on defensive solidity at home.

A heavy defeat in corners (2 against 12) only confirms the status of the upcoming match's visitors as a team capable of grinding it out.
