Boca Juniors vs Always Ready
Copa Libertadores
Date: Tuesday, 12 April 2022
Kick-off at 23:15 UK / 24:15 CET
Venue: Estadio Alberto J. Armando (Buenos Aires).
After losing their debut game, the Argentine side will be hoping to turn the tables as they invite Always Ready to Estadio Alberto J. Armando, this Tuesday for Matchday 2 of 2022 Copa Libertadores Group stage.
Boca Juniors are not going through its best time, despite having great players, the team couldn’t deliver a good performance. They were defeated by the current Colombian Chmapion Deportivo Cali by 2-0. Both Boca and Corinthians are positioned last in Group E, unable to open points.
The home team are currently 3rd in the Copa de la Liga Profesional. They are on a 4-game unbeaten run in the league with in need of only 3 points to reach the table top. The Argentines are much stronger than their opponents, and we expect them to take the game deep and finish it off as quickly as they possibly can.
On the other hand, Always Ready had a surprising moment when it defeated Corinthians by 2-0 in their first 2022 Copa Libertadores match. With 3 points in hand they are at the second spot tallied with the toppers Deportivo Cali.
Always Ready are 4th in the Bolivia Division Profesional and have won and lost twice of their last 5 league schedules. They are however in the zone of Apertura Quarter-final Play Offs. The Bolivian side used to fail when they played out of their country. The level they show in foreign countries is a bit lower.
This is the first time that these two teams are facing each other in a recorded contest. The hosts have faced Bolivian opposition in this competition before, while this will be the first time Always Ready face an Argentine opponent in a competitive fixture.
Even though Always Ready scored 8 times in their last two games, we must mention that they could not open the scoreboard in 4 out of 8 matchdays in the Bolivian league. They trashed 6-2 their last rival in the Bolivian First Division, however, they could have a clean sheet.
Both sides have scored 11 goals in their league games this season but the visiting side have enjoyed a better run of form recently. The hosts have some notable absentees for this game but Bolivian teams used to fail when they played out of their country.
So the most probable result In La Bombonera will be a victory for Boca.
