Boca Juniors vs Newell’s Old Boys: Prediction for the Match on October 6 2025
It will be a tense and tough-fought Round 11 match in the Torneo Betano 2025 Clausura as Boca Juniors welcome Newell to Buenos Aires. Boca are also seeking to reclaim their lost position following their recent humiliation with Defensa y Justicia, whereas Newell have had a troubled spell in recent times, with only one victory in their past five games. The two teams are not only mid-table but also need some form of consistency to shoot up the ladder.

Boca Juniors go into this game following a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Defensa y Justicia, where the club had a majority of the ball (59%), but was not able to turn enough of their 10 shots on target into goals. Prior to that, they had played three games against Central Cordoba (2-2) and Rosario Central (1-1) without winning. Regardless of the recent inconsistency, Boca are one of the superior defensive units in the league. They have 57%-clean sheet ratios at home and give up a paltry 0.5 goals per match, so visiting teams may find La Bombonera a difficult place to play. On the offensive they score 1.43 goals per game and have been on the scorecard first in 61 of their games.
Boca Juniors: Lineup
Coach Miguel Angel Russo is bound to make minor changes after the loss to Defensa, due to loads of injuries.
Boca Juniors starting lineup (4-4-2)
Marchesin – Barinaga, Di Lollo, Costa, Blanco – Velasco, Paredes, Battaglia, Aguirre – Gimenez, Merentiel
Out: Cavani, Delgado, Carlos Palacios, Romero, Zeballos ( injured)
Head coach: Miguel Angel Russo
Newell’s Old Boys: Form and Statistics
Newell Old Boys remain underachievers, having played out a 1-1 home draw with Estudiantes, after losing 3-0 away to Belgrano and losing again to the same opponent in Copa Argentina. Their form when not at home is also of concern with only 15 clean sheets on the road and none on 3.5 goals scored in this season. At away matches they have scored in 54%. Attacking, Newell only have an average of 1 goal in a match, and on the defensive side, they score 1.3 goals per game.They have low conversion rate (13 shots average per goal) which implies that they are wasteful at the front of the net.
Newell’s Old Boys: Lineup
Coach Fabbiani will likely continue to believe in his 4-3-3 formation. Benedetto might be reinstated in the forward position once more with Gonzalez and Herrera in the wings and Regiardo holding the midfield.
Newell’s Old Boys starting lineup (4-3-3)
Espinola – Mosquera, Lollo, Cuesta, Montero – Chiaverano, Banega, Regiardo – Gonzalez, Benedetto, Herrera
Out: Acuna, Gigena, Hoyos, Iniguez, Salcedo, Solteldo, Tabares ( injured)
Head coach: Cristian Fabbiani
