Platense have picked up just four points from four rounds and currently sit in the lower half of their group. Across their last ten matches, the team have won three, drawn three and lost four. On average, the hosts score just 0.9 goals per game while conceding 1.4, so a weak attack is combined with a noticeable defensive vulnerability.

Boca Juniors have five points and also cannot yet establish themselves among the group leaders, although they have looked noticeably more confident recently. In their last ten matches the team have won five, scoring an average of 1.1 goals and conceding around one per game. The attack does not always shine, but the defence remains fairly solid and rarely allows the opposition to create a large number of dangerous chances. On top of that, Boca have gone five matches without a defeat, so compared to an inconsistent Platense they come into this match in better shape.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Boca Juniors are considered the favourites for the upcoming match thanks to their higher quality squad, although the team's Clausura campaign has got off to a genuinely poor start. At the same time, Platense are also far from their best and have failed to win in 13 of their last 14 league matches. So even away from home, the visitors have a good chance of taking all three points. Our bet is Boca Juniors to win. Expected score: 0:2.
