Patronato take on the visitors Boca Juniors in the round 11 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Monday, August 1st at Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella (Paraná).
Patronato is not a team from which much is expected. "El Patrón" did not play at the level of the top division of Argentina for 3.5 decades. And even after the long-awaited return, they did not shine with results. In last year's Liga, the team finished in 23rd place. And in the spring Copa Diego Maradona, the worst result was shown at all - only 10 points in 14 matches. But in the summer, in the new regular championship, Ivan Delfino's wards were able to surprise in some way, quite actively gaining points. In mid-July, it turned out to consistently beat Central Cordoba and Tigre. But the newcomer, Barracas Central, beat the team 2-1. Nevertheless, it is still quite confidently held at the top half of the current standings.

Boca Juniors is seriously feverish again. The “Genoese” disappointed in last year's Liga. After the "golden double" 2019/2020, there was a rollback to the 4th position. However, Sebastian Battaglia kept the job, and it seemed that Riquelme's decision as chief executive had justified itself. The young mentor was able to win Copa Diego Maradona. But this was replaced by an elimination from the Copa Libertadores already in the 1/8 finals (after 0-0 in both matches, the Brazilians won the away penalty shootout) and unstable results in the Liga. The coach has already been changed as Hugo Ibarru was appointed as interim manager. In the last 3 rounds he managed to win twice, against Talleres and Estudiantes. But all the same, so far the fans are booing both the players and the management.
In 7 meetings, Patronato was able to win only once, 1-0 as part of the national cup in 2017. And then Boca won the return match with the same score at home, after which they knocked out the underdog on penalties. Boca Juniors is considered as the favorite of the confrontation. But they don't look particularly confident, and Patronato isn't hopeless. So we recommend betting on "total over 2.0".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored.
