Boca Juniors have no other objectives this season besides Copa Libertadores and failing the season in Argentina, taking 20 points in 16 matches and sit on 10th place in the league. Tevez and Co are focused on the international tournament. Boca Juniors won their group with 12 points with three wins and three draws. The round of 16 opponents Cerro Porteno were defeated twice (2-1, 3-1) and Nacional from Uruguay couldn’t hold Argentine giants in quarterfinals (1-1, 2-1). Boca Juniors haven’t lost a single match in this year competition, taking six wins and four draws. As to the away record of the team in 2016, Boca Juniors recorded three wins, five draws and five defeats in 13 matches on the road.
The opponents haven’t met before in their history. We can expect the opponents to be careful in that match as it’s late stage and the price of any mistake is too high. The match should feature small number of scoring chances and the opponents shouldn’t combine over two goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
