Always Ready vs Club Bolivar Prediction: Bolivar Coming off an Unexpected Defeat Against Libertad Gran Mamore

In the upcoming fixture of the Bolivian Primera Division, Always Ready will be up against Bolivar at the Municipal Stadium El Alto in El Alto. Wit Bolivar ticking the charts and progressing at the top of the points table, Always Ready will be feeling the heat ahead of the upcoming matchup in Municipal Stadium. According to the table standings of today, Always Ready stands 6th with 3 wins and 11 points, and Bolivar stands 2nd with 6 wins and 18 points. The last time these two sides played, Bolivar won 3-0. The last four matches played between the two have Bolivar winning thrice and a match ending in a draw. 

Going in the matchup, Always Ready is coming off a win against Independiente Petrolero (1-2), in which Marco Salazar and Julio Herrera scored goals. Always Ready has been trying to deliver consistently. However, the match form has remained inconsistent for them. From 11 matches played recently against Bolivar, Always Ready has only scored 8 goals, averaging 0.73 goals per game. Considering the head-to-head goal-scoring count, Always Ready might find it difficult to score against Bolivar. In the last five matches played, Always Ready has scored 8 goals, averaging 1.60 goals per game. In comparison to the scoring average, Always Ready has conceded 8 goals also, which equals the scoring average. Talking about impactful players in the lineup, Julio Herrera and Dorny Romero are likely to make an impact along with Marco Salazar. 

The unbeaten run of Bolivar came to an end after losing to Libertad Gran Mamore (2-0) in the last outing. Bolivar looked off-color as they were unable to equalize Bolivar’s lead. Though the defeat didn’t dent Bolivar’s table standings, it certainly did end its winning streak. If Bolivar is counting on its previous performance against Always Ready, then Bolivar could certainly demonstrate better gameplay. In the last 11 matches played against Always Ready, Bolivar has been successful in 6 matches and has scored 17 goals, averaging 1.55 goals per game. In the last five matches played, Bolivar has only conceded 3 and scored 12 goals. Coach Benat San Jose will be confident about winning and overcompensating for the last unwanted defeat against Libertad.

With Bolivar missing out on Poveda due to the red card suspension in the last match, Ronnie Fernandez is likely to play a pivotal role in Bolivar’s lineup. With Always Ready playing at home, I am predicting concrete resilience from the home side. Secondly, the match total is likely to be over 2.5 goals, as the last three matches between the two have had over 2.5 goals. Thirdly, I am backing Bolivar to win (1-2) or Always Ready to secure a draw. In both scenarios, both sides are likely to score. 

• Double Chance - Draw or Bolivar for 1.50
• Both Teams to Score - Yes for 1.53
• Dorny Romero To Score A Goal At Any Time - Yes for 2.75
