Scroll down to see all of the predictions, poll and statistics for Boca Juniors v Corinthians - along with the latest match odds.
Boca Juniors will play in this game coming off the back of a 0-0 Copa de la Liga Profesional drawn match against Racing Club.
In that game, Boca Juniors managed 48% possession and 2 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target. Racing Club had 13 attempts at goal with 4 on target. After a tense 6-5 penalty shootout, Boca Juniors were victorious.
An interesting theme in recent Boca Juniors games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their previous 6 matches before this one, in as many as 6 of them a wager on both teams scoring would've been a losing one. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend will be sustained here.
In their previous game, Corinthians drew 2-2 in the Serie A match with Internacional.
In that game, Corinthians had 52% possession and 15 shots at goal with 9 of them on target. For Corinthians, the goalscorers were Raul Gustavo (30') and Jô (64'). For their opponents, Internacional had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target. Alan Patrick (25') and Wanderson (44') scored for Internacional.
In 5 of the previous 6 games involving Corinthians, a notably low volume of goals have been struck between them and their opposition. The overall average number of goals per game in that spell is a paltry 1.67, with the average goals for Timão equalling 1.33.
Norberto Briasco (Ankle Injury), Marcelo Weigandt (Sprained Ankle) and Diego González (Meniscal Injury) won’t be available for Boca Juniors gaffer Sebastián Battaglia.
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Corinthians manager Vítor Pereira to contend with. Paulinho (Ruptured knee ligament) won’t be in action.
Our thinking is that Corinthians will likely create enough chances to put a goal past this Boca Juniors side, although that might not be enough to prevent defeat.
Our selection here is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Boca Juniors at the end of the 90 minutes. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
