Boca Juniors (WWLWW)

The previous match saw Boca Juniors winning 2-1 against Aldosivi. Boca enjoyed 66 possession and register 11 shots, six on target, largely controlling the match, including 75 percent passing. Aldosivi have answered early in the second half, with Advíncula doubling the Pirates lead, before they draw level. Boca kept pushing forward and took the winner in the 84th through Miguel Merentiel. While their opponents had just two shots on target, they have stayed solid in defense and will be keen to repel Rosario Central in the same fashion.

Rosario Central (WWDWD)

Rosario Central have also won one of this match before, by beating Sarmiento Junín at home 1-0. It was in the 6th minute when Sandez's goal, assisted by Malcorra was the only one of the game played. However, 57 percent possession is nothing to celebrate for Rosario, who only had two shots on target all game. They were compact defensively and Sarmiento had only one shot on target. But it remains to be seen whether they can put away chances before this demanding away trip to Boca.

Expert Betting Tips

As with any type of fixture, this fixture particularly at home has historically favoured Boca Juniors. Nevertheless, the defensive organization of Boca’s attack could be challenging for Rosario Central. Boca Juniors are stronger in possession and more clinical in attack, so this fixture favours them. It could be tough for Rosario Central to get Boca’s defense broken down due to their lack of attacking output.
