Always Ready host Mirassol at Estadio Municipal de El Alto with both teams seeking crucial points in Copa Libertadores Group G. Mirassol, leading the group and boasting a much higher club ranking, arrive as favorites. The Bolivian side struggles in the group yet showed flashes of quality recently. An intriguing subplot is Mirassol’s away resilience against a side that can be stubborn at home at high altitude. Key players to watch: Always Ready’s Jesús Maximiliano Maraude Cano, their most productive midfielder, and Mirassol’s Carlos Eduardo, involved in three goals in his last five matches.
Baroja, Always Ready’s goalkeeper, will be under pressure from a Mirassol attack that scored 10 goals in five recent outings.
Hot stat: Always Ready’s only group win was a 4-0 demolition of Lanus, showing they can strike hard even against higher-ranked opponents.

Always Ready vs Mirassol prediction
We predict Mirassol to win this match. Their current form, group position, and previous 2-0 away win against Always Ready make them the clear choice. Mirassol average 2 goals per game in their last five, and their away win at El Alto earlier in the group confirms their adaptability to challenging environments. Always Ready lack consistency, especially in front of goal, with just four goals in four group games and no win since their thrashing of Lanus.
Always Ready commit fewer fouls (49 vs 70) and collect slightly fewer yellow cards (9 vs 11) than Mirassol over the last five matches, suggesting a more measured style. Mirassol’s greater foul count reflects a high-pressing, aggressive approach, which helps disrupt possession but risks disciplinary issues, especially away. Mirassol also complete more passes (2325 vs 2088) and have slightly higher pass accuracy, indicating superior control and technical quality. Always Ready may struggle to dictate tempo and could get pinned back for long spells.

Possible Starting Lineups
Always Ready possible starting eleven
- GK: Alain Baroja
- DF: Marcelo Suárez, Alex Rambal, Carlitos Rodriguez, Carlos Medina
- MF: Fernando Saucedo, Jesús Maximiliano Maraude Cano, Joel Amoroso, Fernando Nava Ortega
- FW: Enrique Triverio, Juan Godoy
Baroja keeps his spot after consistent performances. Defense remains unchanged, with Suárez and Rambal key to dealing with Mirassol’s direct play. Maraude Cano and Saucedo anchor midfield, providing both passing and physicality. Triverio leads the line with Godoy, supported by the energetic Nava Ortega. Always Ready should line up in a 4-2-3-1.
Mirassol possible starting eleven
- GK: Walter Leandro Capeloza Artune
- DF: Reinaldo, João Victor Carroll Santana, Daniel Borges, Willian Estefani Machado
- MF: Neto Moura, José Aldo, Carlos Eduardo de Oliveira Alve, Shaylon Kallyson Cardozo, Alesson dos Santos Batista
- FW: Carlos Eduardo
Mirassol stick to a 4-1-4-1 with Artune in goal. The back four remains solid, featuring the attacking Reinaldo and Borges. In midfield, Neto Moura shields the defense, with José Aldo and Shaylon supporting the creative Carlos Eduardo and the dynamic Alesson. Up front, Carlos Eduardo operates as a central attacker, a key threat with both scoring and assisting capacity.

The Verdict
We predict Mirassol to win in a match with plenty of goalmouth action. Always Ready will need to push forward and take risks given their group position, opening up opportunities for Mirassol’s fast transitions. Mirassol’s disciplined pressing, combined with technical superiority and recent head-to-head dominance, gives them a decisive edge. Always Ready can threaten on the break but lack the consistency to match Mirassol over 90 minutes.
