Club Always Ready and Corinthians get their Copa Libertadores campaign underway on Wednesday when they lock horns at the Estadio Municipal de El Alto.
The Brazilian outfit head into the game fresh off the back of a cup semi-final defeat at the hands of Sao Paulo and will be looking to quickly return to winning ways.
Club Always Ready continue to struggle for form in the Bolivian top flight as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Blooming last Saturday.
This followed a slender 1-0 victory over Club Deportivo Real Santa Cruz which saw their four-game winless run come to an end.
Club Always Ready have now lost just once in their last 17 home matches and will be backing themselves to come away with maximum points against the visitors.
Meanwhile, Corinthians fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sao Paulo in the semi-finals of the Campeonato Paulista last time out.
Prior to that, they were on a two-game winning streak, beating Grêmio Novorizontino 1-0 on March 20 before seeing off Guarani 7-6 on penalties.
Corinthians head into Wednesday’s game winless in all but one of their last five outings, losing three and claiming one draw in that time
