Always Ready and Olimpia get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Libertadores Group Stage fixture.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Olimpia have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Always Ready form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Always Ready's two home games in the Liga De Futbol Prof so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Hernando Siles. This match is a Copa Libertadores match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in this competition. The Always fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estadio Hernando Siles and will expect new points from this game. Always Ready has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.
Before that, Always Ready had a Copa Libertadores home game versus Deportivo Tachira which ended with a victory 2-0.
A goal frenzy last time out for Always, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Wilstermann. Fun stuff to watch!
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Liga De Futbol Prof game versus Municipal Vinto in only three days. This game is also played here at Estadio Hernando Siles.
At Estadio Hernando Siles, Always Ready has the goal stats of 6-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Olimpia form and stats
Last season their Copa Libertadores adventure ended in the group stage.The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 0 draws and only 2 losses in the Division 1. Total Copa Libertadores statistics for Olimpia: 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses.
A 1-6 defeat away at Internacional before that.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Sol de America was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? As mentioned above, Olimpia drew the match against Sol de America. Manager S. Orteman Rodríguez brought on D. González to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Olimpia manager S. Orteman Rodríguez as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Nacional Asuncion.
Olimpia has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 12 goals from 7 games. As opposed to that, Olimpia have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
