Editor's Prediction
Boca Juniors enter this match as favorites, yet their attacking play hasn't been particularly impressive at the start of the season. Their home games tend to be cautious and pragmatic affairs: in eight consecutive home league matches, the total goals have stayed under three. Given this scenario, a bet on under 2.5 goals seems more logical.
