Boca Juniors Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Copa Sudamericana tournament (home team - O´Higgins, away - Boca Juniors). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:0.

Boca Juniors have played just one match in the Clausura and started the tournament with a heavy defeat. Their overall form isn't convincing either: four wins, one draw and five losses in their last ten games. Over that run they've averaged just 0.8 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match. That lack of firepower is the core problem - once they go a goal down, turning things around isn't something they do reliably.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Boca Juniors are the favourites here - one of the strongest clubs not just in Argentina but on the continent. Newell's Old Boys know the gap in quality, so they'll most likely sit deep and try to take away space. The head-to-head record at Newell's Old Boys' ground backs that up: in 8 of the previous 9 matches played there, both sides combined for no more than two goals. Given all that, the most logical bet is total goals under 2.5. Predicted score: 0-1.
