⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers have Boca Juniors as favourites here. They're a clear step above Deportivo Riestra in squad quality and capable of controlling a match even away from home. On top of that, they've won their last four away games in the Argentine league. Given all that, backing a Boca Juniors win makes sense. Predicted score: 0-2.
