⭐ Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Boca Juniors are clear favourites owing to their superior squad quality, and Racing have done little to impress in the Clausura so far. However, the cup format can level the difference: the nominal home side only need one good performance, and they will almost certainly focus on keeping things tight defensively. Boca Juniors may find it difficult to break down a compact defence, so a high-scoring game seems unlikely. Our pick is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
