Estudiantes vs Boca Juniors: Prediction for the Match on November 2 2025

Real table weight clash in La Plata at heavyweight. Estudiantes come in with a rave following an overpowering derby and Boca just had a tricky road test at Barracas. Have a control and patience at the beginning and then in the latter half-hour a more relaxed game will follow.

Estudiantes: Form and Statistics

Students performed well in the Clasico Platense: 2-0 to indicate territorial control and volume of chance-2.61 xG, 6 big chances, 16 shots and 58 percent possession over Gimnasia. They restricted their opponents to 0.15 xG and two shots on goal, which is pretty much of a derby as you will get. Home they have been one of the most reliable in Argentina: 1.43 scored / 0.71 conceded per game, 43% clean sheets, 64% Under 2.5, an average 60% possession with 13.8 shots a profile which has been built on structure, set-piece detail and controlled tempo.

Estudiantes: Lineup

Coach Dominguez maintains 4-2-3-1 to keep the state of the midfield in check and to supply a classical target 9.Fernando Muslera becomes the goal-keeper, backed by a back four of Ricardo Gomez, Santiago Nunez, Fabian Rodriguez and Santiago Arzamendia. Santiago Ascacibar leads the way with Matias Amondarain--ball-winning and circulation- to liberate the three creators: Carlos Medina as the roaming 10, Thiago Palacios and Fabricio Perez as the inside out flankers. Guido Carrillo is in charge of the line to strike crosses and pin centre-backs. Palacios to come near Ascacibar in build-up (3-2 base), and then Arzamendia cuts over to feed Carrillo.

Estudiantes starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Muslera – Gomez, Nunez, Rodriguez, Arzamendia – Ascacibar, Amondarain – Perez Fabricio, Medina, Palacios – Carrillo

Boca Juniors: Form and Statistics

The 3-1 away win of Boca against Barracas was smooth: 72 percent of possession, 14 shots, 7 on target, 1.15 xG and 5 big chances created. They were long-suffering, and cruel afterwards when the block broke.Season picture is high: 1.48 scored / 0.74 conceded, 45% clean sheets (33% away) and 61% Under 2.5 total; away picture is also good (1.33 scored / 0.93 conceded) and control is at 57% possession.

Boca Juniors: Lineup

Boca have tilted their 4-4-2 to a pragmatic type which tightens up the centre and provides punch up front.Goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin, back four, Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Aaron Anselmino Costa and Lautaro Blanco. Brian Aguirre is wide right on midfield and Willian Alarcon Cepeda and Marcelo Delgado as the double pivot, Carlos Palacios pinch in left to combine inside. Strike pair: Miguel Angel Merentiel- Miguel Gimenez- the former is the one who attacks the box, the latter drops and connects. I would anticipate Palacios to stray into the half-space and Blanco to overlap with and Alarcon to guard changeovers.

Boca Juniors starting lineup (4-4-2)

Marchesin – Barinaga, Di Lollo, Costa, Blanco – Palacios, Delgado, Alarcon Cepeda, Aguirre – Gimenez, Merentiel

It is more like a game of margins. The threat of set-pieces and the tight block used by Estudiantes will work a patience on Boca; Boca has the ability to control and do so with gear on the second half to turn a close game.
