Belgrano vs Boca Juniors Prediction: Boca Juniors again on 1st place

In the 13th round of the Torneo Betano 2025, Boca Juniors visit Belgrano in a match that should be fierce and tactical. Having produced two very contrasting fortunes in their last match, both teams will come into this contest hoping to prove themselves as the league approaches the halfway point.

Belgrano (WDDDL)

In the previous round Belgrano pulled off a hard fought 1-0 win away to Estudiantes. Belgrano defended deep and compacts, offering up 65% possession and 14 shots. But with the game evenly poised for the majority of it, it took a moment of genius just before half time when Fernández fired them in front in the 41st minute. While it was under pressure all of time, the defensive block was disciplined and limited Estudiantes quality chances. Losada was one of the first to play a major role, with crucial saves and the team’s efficiency in possession from 35% shows that they are proficient in an end to end short of chances.

Boca Juniors (WLWWW)

Boca Juniors beat Barracas Central 1-0 for a juicy but finished win at La Bombonera. Battaglia put the home side in front in the 40th minute before they dominated possession (58 per cent) and hold all the running. And although Boca had little after the break with only one shot on target to show for both matches, their play never really put their side at risk of losing. Barracas had only seven shots overall, none of them on target, and the backline rarely succumbed. Boca had a particularly sharp pass in midfield, with the accuracy rate 87 percent and maintained structure even in brief pressure.

However, Belgrano will also be depending on their home support and their defensive strength, and against a Boca side growing in terms of control and composure as the tournament progresses. A big factor could be that Boca is capable of limiting an opponent’s opportunities whilst keeping the ball without the need to repeatedly break down Belgrano’s compact shape. It could be a slow burner too if Belgrano want to frustrate Boca by sitting deep, as this has been the case in recent games. And if Boca’s superior ball retention and organization in midfield wins out, then the hosts may be doing enough to stretch an attack starved of goals at a premium.
