⭐ Editorial Prediction
There’s little doubt that Quimsa will look to impose their trademark defensive style. Boca Juniors have been able to play open, attacking basketball in previous rounds, confident in their own firepower. But taking that approach against the favorites would be a major risk. Especially considering that in 14 of the last 16 head-to-head meetings between these sides in the Argentine league, the combined total has not exceeded 158 points. To account for any late-game push from the visitors, our main pick is under 161.5 total points.No comments
