Always Ready host Lanus in Copa Libertadores Group G, a fixture that carries real consequences for both sides' hopes of reaching the knockout rounds.
The Bolivian hosts sit fourth in the group and have yet to win in continental play this campaign. Three consecutive Primera División wins have kept spirits up domestically, but their Copa Libertadores record tells a starkly different story — two defeats from two, including a 1-0 loss to Lanus in the reverse fixture last month.
Lanus arrive in better continental shape. The Argentine side picked up that away win over Always Ready in April and followed it with a 1-0 victory over LDU de Quito, which has them sitting second in Group G. Their Liga Profesional form has been more inconsistent, but in CONMEBOL competition they have shown the discipline to grind out results.
For Always Ready, this is a fixture they cannot afford to lose. A second defeat to the same opponent in the group stage would leave their qualification hopes hanging by a thread, with the mathematics of Group G offering little room for further slip-ups.
Lanus, meanwhile, will want to consolidate their position. A win here would strengthen their grip on second place and keep pressure on group leaders LDU de Quito, who have already beaten Always Ready in this campaign.
The first meeting between these sides ended 1-0 to Lanus on their own turf. Always Ready will be looking for a different outcome on home soil, though their continental form so far gives little indication that a turnaround is imminent.

Always Ready have won two and lost two of their last five matches across all competitions, with one additional defeat rounding out the run. Their most recent outing was a 3-1 win over Nacional Potosi in the Primera División on May 2. Before that, they lost 2-0 to Mirassol in the Copa Libertadores, a result that extended their winless record in continental play. They also recorded wins over Guabira (1-2 away) and Oriente Petrolero (1-0) in domestic competition. Their only other Copa Libertadores appearance in this stretch was the 1-0 defeat to Lanus on April 16.
Lanus have recorded one win, two draws, and one defeat across their last four available results, with the fifth being that Copa Libertadores victory over Always Ready. Their most recent outing ended goalless against Deportivo Riestra in the Liga Profesional on May 2. Before that, they beat LDU de Quito 1-0 in the Copa Libertadores on April 28, which stands as their most significant recent result. Two goalless draws in domestic play — against Central Cordoba de Santiago and Deportivo Riestra — bookend a run that has been tight-margined throughout. Lanus have conceded just once across their last five matches.
