⭐ Editor's Pick
Boca Juniors are the favourites here - better squad, home advantage. But they're far from their best right now, so this won't be straightforward. The head-to-head record points to goals: the last five meetings between these two have all produced at least two. That makes total goals over 1.5 the most logical bet. Predicted score: 1-1.
