Always Ready host Lanus at Estadio Municipal de El Alto in a vital Copa Libertadores Group G clash. With both sides under pressure—Always Ready searching for their first points and Lanus needing to solidify second place—expect a contest marked by urgency and tactical discipline. The thin air of El Alto often becomes a silent twelfth man, potentially tilting proceedings in favor of the Bolivians, but recent head-to-head results and squad depth say otherwise.
Key players in focus: Always Ready’s Fernando Nava Ortega, who netted twice in his last six games, gives the hosts a dynamic edge up front. For Lanus, Yoshan Valois stands out with two goals in his last six and a relentless presence on the wing. Both attackers will be pivotal in breaking stubborn defenses, especially as the group table tightens.
Hot stat: Always Ready have managed just 0 goals in two group matches so far, while Lanus have only scored one—expect a tense, low-scoring tactical battle.

Always Ready vs Lanus prediction
We predict a draw as the most valuable outcome for this clash. Both sides have struggled for goals in the group, and their recent form displays defensive solidity mixed with offensive inefficiency. Always Ready’s home advantage is counteracted by Lanus’s superior squad structure and better pass accuracy (Lanus: 82% vs Always Ready: 71% over last five matches). The Bolivians tend to play physically, racking up 16 yellow cards and 71 fouls in five matches, while Lanus’s tactical style results in high pass completion and frequent corners (38). Expect fouls to disrupt rhythm, and both sides may settle for a share of the spoils.

Team Analysis
Always Ready’s last five show a mixed bag: a crucial 3-1 win over Nacional Potosi, but a worrying 0-2 home loss to Mirassol. The attack is inconsistent—Enrique Triverio and Fernando Nava Ortega are the most reliable, but midfield buildup remains a concern, highlighted by low pass accuracy and high lost balls. Julio César Baldivieso’s side rely on physicality and quick transitions, yet discipline is an issue, given their yellow and red card counts.
Lanus’s recent form is built on defensive structure: three consecutive 0-0 draws followed by a narrow 1-0 win against Always Ready in the reverse fixture. Mauricio Pellegrino has instilled patience and ball retention, with midfielders like Felipe Peña Biafore and Marcelino Moreno dictating tempo. Their biggest flaw is lack of cutting edge, with just three goals in five games. The defense, though, has proven reliable, conceding only once in those matches.

Possible Starting Lineups
Always Ready possible starting eleven
- GK: Alain Baroja
- DF: Marcelo Suarez, Alex Rambal, Carlitos Rodriguez, Carlos Medina
- MF: Fernando Saucedo, Jesús Maximiliano Maraude Cano, Joel Amoroso, Juan Godoy
- FW: Fernando Nava Ortega, Enrique Triverio
Baroja anchors the defense, while Suarez, Rambal, Rodriguez, and Medina offer physical presence at the back. Saucedo and Maraude Cano bring midfield balance—both contributing with goals and assists recently. Amoroso and Godoy play advanced roles behind strikers Nava Ortega and Triverio, who provide direct attacking threat. Expect a 4-2-3-1 with focus on quick transitions and set pieces.
Lanus possible starting eleven
- GK: Nahuel Hernan Losada
- DF: José Canale, Gonzalo German Perez Corbalan, Carlos Izquierdoz, Sasha Julian Marcich
- MF: Felipe Peña Biafore, Ramiro Carrera, Marcelino Moreno, Diego Agustín Medina, Matías Sepúlveda
- FW: Yoshan Valois
Losada leads a defense with Canale, Perez Corbalan, Izquierdoz, and Marcich—all frequent starters and reliable stoppers. The midfield five, featuring Biafore, Carrera, Moreno, Medina, and Sepúlveda, will focus on ball control and build-up. Valois spearheads the attack, supported by the midfield’s passing game. Pellegrino’s 4-1-4-1 maximizes midfield dominance and limits exposure at the back.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. Both sides lack attacking spark, recent meetings produced minimal goals, and the high number of fouls and cards points to a scrappy, stop-start encounter. Always Ready’s home advantage is checked by Lanus’s organization and superior passing game. Back under 2.5 goals, expect a slow-burner where defenses have the upper hand and neither attack finds sustained rhythm.
