Boca Juniors vs Talleres Cordoba: Prediction for the Match on November 23 2025

The Torneo Betano Clausura moves off to the knockout stages and a high profile battle at La Bombonera where Boca Juniors host Talleres Cordoba in a match that is characterised by opposing dynamics. Boca come in with an outstanding form with a home record that has been very dominant and a defence that has ranked among the keenest in Argentina. Talleres, in their turn, enter the tie with their strong performances away but with a serious deficiency in attacking effectiveness. As the stakes are elevated and Boca traditionally strong with knockout football, the match is likely going to be based on the concept of possession control, close results and the better finishing quality on the part of the hosts.

Boca Juniors: Form and Statistics

Boca entered such a tie with a confident 2-0 win in their homes against Tigre, where they possessed more (74%), created higher quality xG (1.13) and controlled the pace, and offered very few high-quality chances.The last five matches in the league have seen them secure victories scoring 10 and conceding 2 goals in the last five matches. Their statistics throughout the season highlight their position as one of the most powerful teams of the competition: they have only won 18 games out of the 34 games they have played, scored 52 goals, and only conceded 24 goals. In the home they are scoring 2.11 points per game, have 11 wins out of 18 games and an excellent goals-conceded rating of just 0.50 per game. The underlying numbers of Boca also support their power: they create 1.61 xG per home game, clean in 61% of the home games, and in more than 11% of home games allow over 1.5 goals. They have an efficient shot profile, with a conversion of 13% of their initiatives and a combination of a good defensive compactness.

Boca Juniors: Lineup

Boca are supposed to have the same formation they employed in the victory over Tigre retaining their balanced 4-2-3-1 formation. Marchesin must not get out of goal after the composed performance. The back four should be comprised of Barinaga and Blanco on the right and left side respectively, and the two in the middle, Figal and Costa to offer aerial protection and aggressive front-footed defense. In the midfield, build-up should be anchored by Delgado with Paredes and Herrera in front of him, they need to provide dynamism, ball movement, and late runs into the box. In the front line, Merentiel must play again, and Palacios and Zeballos should be on his right and left, and this trio provides Boca with freedom of movement, insidiousness, and domineering presence in the penalty box. Such an arrangement gives Boca the option to dominate the central hall and operate with numbers and width.

Marchesin – Barinaga, Figal, Costa, Blanco – Delgado, Paredes – Carlos Palacios, Herrera, Zeballos – Merentiel

Talleres Cordoba: Form and Statistics

Talleres come to Buenos Aires with a 0-0 draw in their away game against Instituto, which was characterized by their defensive discipline and poor attacking performance. Regardless of the 62% possession, Talleres created 0.46 xG and only two shots on target. Their difficulties during the season in terms of attack are still evident: they have made only 20 goals out of 32 games and their conversion rate is only 5%. Recently they have had a mixed form (W-L-W-W-D) yet away performance has been surprisingly strong with only 4 losses in 16 away matches and have a concession rate of only 0.75 goals per match. The statistical profile of Talleres indicates a team that does not concede frequently (clean sheets in 44% of the matches) and is not good at scoring, with 0.63 goals per match and half of the failures-to-score (50). On average, their matches have 1.47 goals, which is one of the least in the league.

Talleres Cordoba: Lineup

Talleres will probably stay with the 4-4-2 employed during the stalemate with Instituto. A good performance by Herrera should also lead to his retention in goal. One can also expect the defence to be made up of Schott and Baez at the full-back, with Catalan and Palomino in the role of the centre-back, a defensive line that would be aerial solid and block-defending. Galarza and Ortegoza will remain the combo in midfield. Rick and Angulo must take the initiative up front with Navarro and Caceres on the wings, both charged with the responsibility of tearing open the defence of Boca whilst goal output might be a problem. The structured shape and defensive rigor to which Tallares will be dependent will come in handy in a challenging away setting.

Boca will be the definite favourites in this tie with the advantage of better form, more tactical identity and a defensive base that hardly ever collapses at home.
