Boca Juniors Team Overview
Boca Juniors have ten points from seven matches and sit eighth in the group. Over their last ten games, they have been particularly solid defensively, conceding an average of just 0.7 goals per match. Their current run also looks decent - they are unbeaten in five consecutive matches, though their attacking output has been considerably more modest. In those same five games, they have not scored more than one goal, so given Gimnasia's strong home record, scoring may be the key question for the visitors.

Latest news
Gimnasia Y Esgrima Mendoza
Gimnasia Mendoza head into the match with several significant absences: Juan Franco will miss the game through suspension, while Franco Saavedra and Imanol Gonzalez are both ruled out through injury. Saavedra is out for the rest of the season.
Boca Juniors
Boca Juniors have an even heavier injury list: Leandro Paredes, Milton Delgado, Tomás Aranda, Ayrton Costa, Malcolm Braida, Adam Bareiro, Agustín Marchesín and Rodrigo Battaglia are all out injured. The main problem for Boca Juniors is the sheer scale of the absentees. The losses affect several positions across the pitch, with some players expected back within a few weeks and others ruled out for considerably longer.
Match Result Prediction
Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza have gone seven home matches in a row without defeat and have won their last six home games. Boca Juniors, meanwhile, have been fairly solid on the road, going unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 away matches, which creates some uncertainty. Even so, the hosts' home run is worth backing - their double chance (Draw/Win) is priced at 1.60*.
Total Goals Prediction
In Boca Juniors' last five matches, the Total Goals - Under 2.5 bet has come in. Both teams have also shown fairly modest scoring numbers this season: Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza average 2.18 goals per home game, while Boca Juniors average 2.58 goals per away game. The average goals conceded figures for both sides are also low. All of this points to a high probability of a low-scoring outcome. This option is priced at 1.53*.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely scorelines are 1-1 (13.5%), 0-1 (12.49%) and 0-0 (11.19%). A 1-1 draw comes out as the single most probable result, though the gap between the three options is fairly small, which points to an expectation of a tight, low-scoring match.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
The hosts will almost certainly look to be as cautious as possible and keep the favourites quiet in attack. Boca Juniors themselves have not been particularly prolific of late, having scored fewer than two goals in each of their last five matches. Given Gimnasia's pragmatic style and the visitors' current numbers, there is little reason to expect an open game. Our pick is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
