Always Ready vs Real Oruro Prediction & Betting Tips (29 September)

The upcoming clash between Always Ready and Real Oruro in Bolivia’s División Profesional promises to be a tightly contested affair, with both sides coming off a string of gritty performances. Real Oruro, currently topping Group B with 10 points, remain unbeaten in their last six matches, showcasing a well-drilled 4-4-2 formation under the guidance of Marcelo Straccia. Their midfield trio—Carlos Ribera, Ricardo Orihuela, and William Velasco—has been instrumental in controlling tempo and creating chances, while Denilso Fernandez continues to be a threat on the wing, recently netting a crucial equalizer against Always Ready in their 1-1 draw on July 25.

Always Ready, meanwhile, sit third in the group with five points and have struggled to convert possession into goals, despite boasting a 64% possession rate in their last encounter with Real Oruro. Julio César Baldivieso’s side typically lines up in a 4-2-3-1, relying on the creativity of Emanuel Paniagua and the pace of Alejandro Camacho down the flanks. The team’s defensive structure has been tested, particularly with Alain Baroja’s recent disciplinary issues and Marcelo Suárez’s red card in the last match. However, Dario Torrico’s left-footed strike in the previous fixture highlighted their ability to break through compact defenses when given space.

Both teams have had their share of disciplinary concerns, with Real Oruro’s Luis Alí receiving a red card for violent conduct and Always Ready’s Moises Paniagua and Dario Torrico picking up yellow cards for persistent fouling. These tensions could spill over into the upcoming match, adding a layer of unpredictability. Tactical substitutions have played a key role in both camps, with Zinedinne La Fuente and Roler Ferrufino offering fresh legs and strategic flexibility late in games. Expect a physical battle in midfield and a high tempo from the opening whistle.

Given the recent head-to-head record—Always Ready scoring first in three of their last four meetings—and their slight edge in attacking depth, a 2-1 scoreline in favor of Always Ready feels like a calculated prediction. Real Oruro’s resilience and unbeaten streak will make them formidable, but Always Ready’s urgency to climb the standings and their ability to capitalize on defensive lapses could tilt the balance. With both teams likely to find the net, the difference may come down to a moment of brilliance or a late tactical shift.
