Boca Juniors

WWLWWL

Boca Juniors will be hoping for a better result following a 1-0 Copa Libertadores defeat last time out to Deportivo Pereira.

Arley Rodríguez (78') was the scorer for Deportivo Pereira.

An interesting aspect of more recent Boca Juniors games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

From their prior six clashes before this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a loser.

Leading up to this clash, Boca Juniors:

• haven't lost in the league to Tigre in their previous 10 matches. A long run without a loss.
• are undefeated in their previous 2 home league matches.

In their last fixture, Tigre drew 0-0 in the Copa Sudamericana tie with Deportes Tolima.

Diego Martínez's Tigre have turned their attacks into goals a total of 7 times throughout their latest 6 matches. The overall goals that have been scored against them during the equivalent period equals 5.

A look at their previous results shows us that Tigre:

• are winless against Boca Juniors when they've played them away from home in the last 10 league games. An awful away record.
• are without an away win for the past 6 league games.

↔️ Head to head

🗞️ Team News: Boca Juniors

Marcos Rojo (Fitness) and Exequiel Zeballos (Knee Injury) won’t be able to feature for Boca Juniors manager Jorge Almirón.

In our view, Los Xeneizes may well kick off with a 4-3-3 formation in the match featuring Sergio Romero, Luis Advincula, Facundo Roncaglia, Jorge Nicolás Figal, Frank Fabra, Juan Ramirez, Martín Payero, Pol Fernández, Oscar Romero, Dario Benedetto and Sebastián Villa.

📰 Team News: Tigre

From a largely available group of players, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Tigre gaffer Diego Martínez to contend with. Ijiel Protti (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Matadores seem likely to play in a 4-3-1-2 formation by sending out Gonzalo Marinelli, Víctor Cabrera, Lucas Blondel, Abel Luciatti, Lautaro Montoya, Cristian Zabala, Agustin Cardozo, Lucas Menossi, Alexis Castro, Mateo Retegui and Facundo Colidio.

💭 Prediction

In this game, Tigre have it in them to break down this Boca Juniors outfit, although it is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.
