📰 Team News: Argentinos Juniors

There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Argentinos Juniors manager Gabriel Milito to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Lucas Ambrogio (Ruptured cruciate ligament) will miss out.

We are thinking that Bichitos Colorados will probably make use of the 3-5-2 system for this game featuring Alexis Arias, Kevin Mac Allister, Miguel Angel Torren, Lucas Villalba, Javier Cabrera, Alan Rodriguez, F. Gonzalez Metilli, S. Gabriel Montiel, Franco Moyano, Gabriel Avalos and Gaston Veron.

ℹ️ Team News: Boca Juniors

Boca Juniors boss Jorge Almirón has not got a full squad to pick from. Luca Langoni (Torn muscle bundle), Exequiel Zeballos (Knee inflammation) and Marcos Rojo (Fitness) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We reckon that Los Xeneizes might play in a 4-4-2 system, settling for Sergio Romero, Marcelo Weigandt, Facundo Roncaglia, Jorge Figal, Frank Fabra, Luis Advincula, Guillermo Fernandez, Martin Payero, Juan Edgardo Ramirez, Dario Benedetto and Sebastian Villa.

✨ Prediction

We’re thinking that Boca Juniors will have to play well to breach the defence of this Argentinos Juniors team who we think might well end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive game with a 1-0 win for Argentinos Juniors at the end of this game.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
