Boca Juniors take on the visitors Tigre in the round 3 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Thursday, June 16th at Estadio Alberto J. Armando (Buenos Aires).
Boca Juniors always sets only the maximum tasks. They compete with the eternal enemy, "River Plate", for the title of force number one in Argentina. Yes, and the title of Latin American grand also on the table. Last season, however, was extremely unsuccessful for the Genoese. The team finished only in 4th position in the Liga. But the bet on the young Sebastian Battaglia began to justify itself now. Quite a well-known player in the past took the trophy this spring. It turned out to win Copa Diego Maradona. True, in the semi-final round, Racing was defeated only on penalties. But in the decisive meeting, "Tigre" was crushed 3-0. Not without problems, but managed to reach the playoffs of the Copa Libertadores. The Argentines scored 10 points, but that was enough to win the group. In Liga Boca Juniors started with a 2-1 victory over Arsenal (Sarandi), and they had already scored twice by the 17th minute. Then were 1-0 with Central Cordoba in the 2nd round.

Tigre 10 years ago was the vice-champion of the country and reached the final of the Copa Sudamericana. In last Copa Diego Maradona, having barely made it to the playoffs, the club managed to knock out Argentinos Juniors on penalties. And only for the final they were frankly not good enough. There Boca won with a huge advantage, 3-0. But, having rested for a couple of weeks, the wards of Diego Martinez started confidently in the championship. In Santa Fe, they scored a strong-willed victory over the Union. But with the "Barracas" at home, again conceding the first, have limited themselves to a draw.
The clubs played a head-to-head this spring for the first time since 2019. There was no battle: Boca Juniors won 2-0 in the group and 3-0 in the final. Bookmakers are expected to win from Boca Juniors on their field. But "Tigre" are combat-ready, so it's worth looking at the option with over 2.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
