The Strongest vs Always Ready
The Strongest opened the opportunity to finish in the runner-up position of the Professional League ahead of the final match of the middle of this week. They will face Always Ready as the host on Thursday (23/5) at Estadio Hernando Siles.
Monday (20/5) they acted as guests of Bolivar and managed to silence the hosts with a score of 1-3. Unfortunately Maximiliano Ortiz is certain to miss the match tomorrow after receiving a red card 9 minutes before dispersal.
Meanwhile, Always Ready also spreads the news of victory from its own headquarters on the same day; they successfully held a party of 5 goals without reply against Oriente Petrolero thanks to the brace of Juan Sergio Adrian Rodriguez.
With that victory, Always Ready has the right to occupy position 8 with a difference of 2 points from Guabira below. The problem is, they will compete in Siles in tomorrow’s match, while they always lose in the last 6 Professional League away games after conceding 18 times and only scored 5 goals.
Note that it was too bad to be taken to Siles where The Strongest had never suffered a defeat in the last 6 games there, with 4 wins and 2 draws after scoring 17 goals despite conceding 7 times.
With such a contrasting record, The Strongest tried to shift Nacional Potosi in second place by just 1 point. They also won when they appeared as Always Ready guests in mid-March.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
