One for the ‘cups’ and another for the descent: Always Ready faces Guabirá and Vinto against Independiente

The first round of the Closing Tournament is over. Everyone has already seen each other’s faces and now the ‘return’ matches begin. Always Ready will open the 16th date at 3:00 p.m. when they face Guabirá, while Universitario de Vinto will seek to score at home against Independiente from 7:00 p.m.

Montero’s red comes in raised. They defeated The Strongest at altitude 2-3 with a great approach and beat Real Santa Cruz 2-1 at the Gilberto Parada. Mauricio Soria’s team will seek to stay on the winning path and also repeat the feat as a visitor.

Always Ready, meanwhile, needs to get up after the setback received against Bolívar. With the defeat, Always lost the possibility of staying as an escort for the leader (The Strongest), and now waits for one of the great La Paz stumbles.

Universitario de Vinto will also risk his life at the Félix Capriles. The Cochabamba team receives Independiente de Sucre, both with the need to add. The locals are still complicated with relegation and a victory would help them spread the pressure with the other teams in the ‘hot zone’ (Universitario de Sucre, Real Santa Cruz and Tomayapo).

Independiente also looks more at the general table than the Clausura. The man from the capital is far from the ‘copper’ positions, and must add if he does not want to start hearing the word ‘relegation’. Currently, the Sucre team has 34 points, and is only above Tomayapo, Real Santa Cruz, and the ‘university’ teams from Sucre and Vinto.
