PREVIEW | Always Ready vs LDU Quito – team news, lineups, predictions

Estadio Municipal El Alto will stage Wednesday’s Copa Libertadores Group G meeting between Bolivia’s Always Ready and Ecuador’s LDU Quito, a clash that pits the competition’s seasoned campaigners against one of its newest regulars. Always Ready are appearing for only the sixth time in the tournament, while LDU Quito—former champions—return for their 23rd edition.

Form offers contrasting narratives. Always Ready arrive buoyant after a 4-0 demolition of Real Tomayapo in Liga Boliviana 2026 action, a result that underlined their attacking edge. LDU Quito, by contrast, travel north on the back of a 0-2 home reversal to Barcelona SC in the Ecuador League 2026, a scoreline that will demand an immediate response if they are to keep qualification hopes alive.

Historical precedent favours the Bolivians on this stage: the sides’ most recent encounter finished 3-1 to Always Ready, a memory both camps will revisit when the whistle blows at altitude.

Probable LDU Quito XI (as listed versus Barcelona SC on 4 April 2026): Gonzalo Valle; José Quintero, Richard Mina, Ricardo Adé, Leonel Quiñónez; Fernando Cornejo, Kevin Minda; Rodney Redes, Alexander Alvarado, Janner Corozo; Deyverson.

With group positioning in the balance, expect LDU Quito to lean on experience and the creativity of Alvarado and Corozo, while Always Ready will seek to exploit both the thin air and momentum gleaned from their weekend rout. A draw keeps the section tight; a win for either could tilt the balance ahead of the final match-day.
