Boca Juniors take on the visitors Colo Colo in round 5 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 7th at Estadio Alberto J. Armando (Buenos Aires).
Boca Juniors have not been particularly stable this year. The "Genoese" were able to consistently win all the major Argentine tournaments in 2022 - the country's super cup, the Diego Maradona Trophy, and most importantly, the league title, which they hadn't won since the 2019/2020 season. However, things haven't been going smoothly for this favorite lately, including in the Copa Libertadores. The Argentine team had a slow start, settling for a goalless draw against Monagas and then managing to win twice, including against Colo-Colo, but ultimately losing to another modest opponent, Deportivo Pereira.

Colo-Colo are not shining particularly bright again. The "Eternal Champion" hasn't been able to reclaim the top spot since 2017. However, last season they finally managed to break through and secure their 33rd title in history. But now they are experiencing another setback, with an almost equal number of wins, draws, and losses on the domestic front. Moreover, their performance in the Copa Libertadores has been rather disappointing. So far, they have only managed to defeat the modest Monagas, and that too at home, while drawing 1-1 away in the 4th round against the same opponent. Colo-Colo lost at home to Boca Juniors without being able to respond to the Argentine giant's two goals. It all started with a draw against another relatively unknown team, Deportivo Pereira. Essentially, their goal now is to avoid complete embarrassment and finish at least in 3rd place. Although there is still a chance for them to make a breakthrough and qualify for the playoffs of the main tournament.
This will be the 8th match between the clubs in the Copa Libertadores. So far, the Argentine team has a clear advantage with 4 victories, including one this spring, and a couple of losses. Boca is expected to secure another victory, although they are not at their peak form. It's better to bet on "under 2.5 goals" in total.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
