Always Ready defends league lead against Bolívar in top Bolivian football clash

Always Ready will put its league-leading position on the line when it hosts Bolívar in a pivotal match on Sunday, part of the 12th round of the Bolivian Professional Football League.

The match, scheduled for 5:15 PM at the Municipal Stadium of El Alto, pits the league leaders, Always Ready, who have accumulated 26 points, against third-placed Bolívar, with 21 points. A victory for Always Ready would extend its lead, while Bolívar could move into second place with a win.

The recent draw by The Strongest against Aurora has created an opportunity for both Always Ready and Bolívar to improve their standings. The tactical battle on the sidelines will also be noteworthy, as both head coaches are enjoying undefeated runs since their appointments. Mauricio Soria has guided Always Ready to four consecutive victories, while Alejandro Restrepo has secured two wins and a draw in his three matches with Bolívar.

The matchday will commence earlier in Potosí, where Real Potosí will host GV San José at 3:30 PM. Real Potosí aims to rebound from a recent loss to Bolívar, having previously shown a strong run of form with points in five of its last six games. GV San José, meanwhile, enters the match unbeaten in its last three games, with one win and two draws, but sits second-to-last in the league standings with 10 points, just ahead of Real Tomayapo.
