Boca Juniors take on Independiente del Valle in the second leg of Copa Libertadores semifinals. The game will be played in Buenos Aires at Bombonera on Friday, July 15th.
Boca Juniors lost the away leg in Ecuador last week, 1-2. Argentina side scored first but couldn’t hold to the advantage and conceded twice in the second half. At the same time, Boca don’t show solid results on the road this season and close defeat is actually good result for the Argentine giant. Boca Juniors show excellent results at home, winning nine matches out of last 14 with five draws, being unbeaten since the middle of February.

Independiente del Valle won’t stop surprising this season. The team started with qualifying round of Copa Libertadores and continues eliminating opponents one after another. The team found the strength to come from behind after allowing a goal first. Independiente took 21 shots in the match and two of them found the back of the net, sealing 2-1 win in the first leg. The team is on six-match unbeaten run in all competitions, including five wins. At the same time, the away record of the team isn’t that great as the visiting side has four wins, four draws and seven defeats in 15 away matches in 2016.
We should consider the hosts as favorites as they are more experience in such important matches. They have world class player Carlos Tevez, who can turn thing around all by himself. On top of that, Boca play confident in front of home fans while their opponents struggle on the road.
Prediction for the match: Boca Juniors to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
