Blooming host league leaders Always Ready at Estadio Ramon Tahuichi Aguilera in what is a stark mismatch in form. Always Ready sit top of the Bolivian Professional Football League with 29 points from 11 games, unbeaten all season, while Blooming occupy 11th place with just 3 wins from 11. The visitors have scored 28 goals this season, the joint-highest in the division, and have not lost a single league match yet. Blooming’s Bayron Garcés is the only player on the home side with genuine goal threat, scoring twice in the last five matches with five shots on target. For Always Ready, midfielder Fernando Saucedo stands out with 3 goals from 3 recent appearances, combining high-volume shooting (12 shots) with clean decision-making.
Hot stat: Always Ready scored 14 goals in their last five matches, averaging 2.8 per game, with six of those coming in a single 6-0 demolition of Real Oruro.

Blooming vs Always Ready Prediction
Always Ready are the clear pick here. They have won all four matches in the last 30 days with a 100% win rate, while Blooming have managed just one win in the same period. The gap in quality is reflected not just in standings but in raw output: Always Ready produced 86 shots and 30 corners in their last five games compared to Blooming’s 63 shots and 23 corners. An away win is the logical call, and the odds around 2.35-2.57 offer real value given the visitors’ unbeaten league record.
Blooming average 9.8 fouls per match in recent games, conceding territory and inviting pressure. Their pass accuracy across five matches sits at roughly 81%, which is decent but well below Always Ready’s 88%. Always Ready commit more fouls overall (57 vs 49) but this reflects their pressing intensity rather than defensive disorganisation. Blooming’s single red card in five games adds a disciplinary fragility that could be exploited in a tense home fixture. With Always Ready generating corners at a rate of 6 per game and Blooming’s backline under constant pressure, the corner market is also worth attention.

Team Analysis
Blooming’s last five results paint a difficult picture: a 0-2 loss to SA Bulo Bulo, a 1-1 draw with The Strongest, a 1-0 win over Tomayapo, a 1-1 draw with GV San Jose, and a 0-3 defeat to River Plate. They have scored just 3 goals in those five games while conceding 7. Coach Erwin Sánchez has struggled to find consistency, and the team’s form sequence shows a pattern of brief recoveries followed by drops. Roberto Hinojosa leads the midfield with 159 passes and 10 shots but has accumulated 14 fouls in five games, suggesting he will be tested against Always Ready’s high-press system. Their most recent defeat, a 0-2 home loss to SA Bulo Bulo (ranked 1094th globally), raises serious concerns heading into this fixture.
Always Ready arrive in top condition. Their last five results: a 1-0 win over Bolivar, a 3-1 win over SA Bulo Bulo, a 4-0 win over Universitario de Vinto, a 6-0 win over Real Oruro, and a 3-1 win over Academia del Balompie. That is 17 goals scored, 3 conceded across five matches. Coach Mauricio Soria has his side playing a fluid 4-2-3-1 with multiple contributors across the squad. Joel Amoroso leads with 3 assists, Juan Godoy and Carlitos Rodriguez have each found the net, and Fernando Saucedo has been the standout with 3 goals from just 3 appearances. Goalkeeper Alain Baroja has made 8 saves across four matches, suggesting the backline is not completely untested, but the defensive structure has held firm with a 36-interception count over five games.

The last five head-to-head meetings show an evenly split goals record of 8-8, but the context matters. Always Ready won three of those five encounters, including a 4-2 win and a 2-1 win in the 2025 Copa de la División Profesional group stage. Blooming’s only win in recent H2H came in a home fixture in the 2025 Apertura (1-0) and a 4-0 result in a friendly where the bookmakers actually favoured Always Ready. The trend favours the visitors, particularly over competitive matches.
Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Always Ready the Favourite
- Moneyline Blooming 2.55 | Always Ready 2.40
- Draw 3.30
- Over/Under Over 2.5 ~1.80 | Under 2.5 ~2.00
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes ~2.10 | No ~1.70
The bookmakers’ average puts Always Ready as a slight favourite at 38% implied probability against Blooming’s 35%. Given Always Ready’s 100% win rate over the last 30 days, their unbeaten league record, and Blooming’s recent home defeat to a mid-table side, the market may be undervaluing the visitors. The draw at 3.30 looks unattractive given the form gap. We see value in an Always Ready win combined with over 2.5 goals, as the visitors have not scored fewer than 3 in any of their last four outings.
Possible Starting Lineups
Blooming Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Braulio Uraezana Cunaendi
- DF: Juan Valverde, José María Carrasco, Denilson Durán Zabala
- MF: Roberto Hinojosa, Moisés Villarroel, Guilmar Centella Bazan, Juan Mercado, Richard Spenhay
- FW: Bayron Garcés, Mauricio Cabral
Blooming are likely to line up in their preferred 4-2-3-1 shape. Braulio Uraezana Cunaendi starts in goal after featuring in four of the last five matches. José María Carrasco anchors the defence despite picking up 2 yellow cards in recent games, his 4 interceptions making him hard to drop. In midfield, Roberto Hinojosa is the engine with 159 passes and 10 shots, and Moisés Villarroel provides the creative link. Bayron Garcés is the one Blooming player capable of making an impact in the final third, with 2 goals and 10 shots in five games.
Always Ready Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Alain Baroja
- DF: Alex Rambal, Carlitos Rodriguez, Carlos Medina, Edisson Restrepo
- MF: A. Quiroga, Joel Amoroso, Jesús Maximiliano Maraude Cano, Fernando Saucedo
- FW: Enrique Triverio, Juan Godoy
Always Ready set up in a 4-2-3-1 as well. Alain Baroja is the undisputed first choice with 8 saves and solid distribution (102 passes, 91% accuracy). Carlitos Rodriguez is a threat from centre-back with 1 goal and 6 interceptions. Joel Amoroso is the creative hub with 3 assists and 153 passes, while Fernando Saucedo provides the cutting edge up front. Enrique Triverio adds physicality with 13 shots and consistent involvement across four matches. This is a deep, well-balanced squad with multiple scoring options across every line.

The Verdict
We predict an Always Ready win. Their season record of 9 wins and 2 draws from 11 league games, combined with four straight wins in the last 30 days and a goals-per-game average approaching 3, makes them the standout pick. Blooming have lost to lower-ranked opposition at home this month and carry a fragile defensive record, conceding 14 goals in 11 league games. Always Ready’s pressing game, led by Saucedo and Triverio, should create enough chances to win this comfortably. We back Always Ready to win with over 2.5 goals in the match, and the “win to nil” market is worth a look given Blooming’s recent goal drought of 3 goals in five games.
