Boca Juniors will seek to resume their good Clausura campaign when they welcome Central Cordoba to La Bombonera in Round 9. Having a strong record of unbeaten matches at home and a sound defense Boca are definite favourites.Instead, Central Cordoba are battling with inconsistency and have not been able to impress outside their home country.This coordination does not match in the number of forms and the number of squads and Boca will be trying to exploit their home advantage and offensive momentum.

Boca Juniors: Form and Statistics

Boca Juniors enter this match in good form as they are not beaten in their previous five matches, drawing two and winning three. Their most recent game was a draw (1-1) with the visiting Rosario Central, which demonstrated the power of the team to perform even when put under the pressure. Boca has a record of 62% clean sheet and only 0.38 goals per game at home, La Bombonera and has one of the best defensive records in the league. Having already scored 18 goals and allowing only 5 goals back, the attacking transitions and set-pieces in Boca are posing to be a significant threat. Their xG data indicates that they possess an efficient and compact team, which has been most effective during the second half of matches.

Boca Juniors: Lineup

Most probably, Miguel Angel Russo is going to use his standard 4-4-2 system that enables Cavani to serve as the center of the attack along with Merentiel, with Palacios and Aguirre making cuts to support him. The presence of Battaglia in the midfield is much more balanced and gives Paredes the opportunity to shoot. The fullbacks will play an important role in elongating the shape of Central Cordoba.

Central Cordoba: Form and Statistics

The shape of Central Cordoba has been haphazard. They have lost three out of the four games they have played and last round, they lost to Deportivo Riestra by 2- 0. Their defences have been their most vulnerable aspect when not at home, giving up an average of 1.5 goals per game and only cleaning sheets in 17 per cent of those. They have only managed to score over one goal in three out of every four away matches and they are not effective against teams which possess the ball and press.

Omar De Felippe will be installed also in a 4-4-2 system to occupy less space in the central areas. Their tactic will probably consist of long balls and passing transitions with the speed of Veron and Heredia. Nevertheless, their absence of creativity in the midfield can once again be a problem with the protracted pressure.

Aguerre – Pillud, Abascia, Galvan, Cufre – Perello, Vera, Bobadilla, Godoy – Heredia, Veron
