Boca Juniors vs Talleres Cordoba Prediction: There aren’t favorites in this encounter

Boca Junior and Talleres Cordoba will meet in the 1/8 finals of Copa Argentina. The match will be played in a neutral location, and it’s really difficult to make a difference between these teams at the moment. We can certainly expect a tense and tight match in which we might not see too many goals, especially because both teams want to reach the very end of the competition.

Boca Juniors

From: WDLWW

Boca Juniors are coming to this match without several important players. Edison Cavani, Lucas Blondel, Marcos Rojo, and Sergio Romero are out injured, and it will certainly affect the performances of this team. Boca Juniors are in 8th place in the league with, 5 wins, 6 draws, and 2 defeats. In their last 5 matches in all competitions, they have 3 wins, a draw and a defeat. They were knocked out of Copa Sudamericana, and now Copa Argentina is their main competition in which they hope to win a title.

Talleres Cordoba

Form: WLLWL

Talleres Cordoba were knocked out of Copa Libertadores by another Argentinian team River Plate. In the league, they are in 5th place with 6 wins, 5 draws, and 2 defeats. In their last 5 matches, they are not doing well as they have 2 wins and 3 defeats. They will also put a lot of energy into overcoming Boca and continue in the next round, as they hope for a trophy in the Cup as well. Besides Juan Rodriguez, everyone else is fit and ready to face Boca Juniors.

Expert Betting Tips

The winner of this encounter will face Gimnasia L.P. in the quarterfinals, and it won’t be an easy match as well. Maybe Boca Juniors are currently in better form, but they will miss many important players, so Talleres Cordoba certainly can hope to get a win here. In their last 5 matches, Boca Juniors won twice, once Talleres Cordoba, and two matches ended in a draw. They played in Copa Argentina last season in the quarterfinals, and Boca Juniors won after a penalty shootout. I expect something similar again, a tight match with not too many chances or goals.
