Always Ready have traveled here for an interesting Copa Libertadores fight against Boca Juniors. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!
14-6-10 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Always Ready when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 30 matches are 46-42 (scored/conceded).
It's quite the trip for Always Ready when visiting Boca Juniors as the cities are 2600 kilometers apart.
It's no vacation for neither Juniors nor Always Ready as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Boca Juniors form and stats

Always Ready form and stats
Always Ready's mission in Copa Libertadores last season failed in the group stage.Always Ready won their last game, 6-2 versus Universitario de Vinto played at home. As you can tell from the results above, Always was very dominant against Universitario de Vinto, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-2 (!) with Arabe (2) and Riquelme (3) providing the goals. Riquelme certainly enjoyed Always Ready's last game versus Universitario de Vinto, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 6-2 victory.
Always Ready are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found five matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were one win, one draw and three defeats. Of the defeats, one game were lost by at least two goals margin.
After this away game Always Ready return home for a Liga De Futbol Prof game against Independiente Petrolero. That game is only four sleeps after this.
