Betting on Asociación Atlética Argentinos Juniors
The season for Argentinos Juniors is shaping up to be quite interesting, both in the Argentine League and in the Copa Libertadores. With a little more conviction, things could get even better for it.
Under the guidance of Gabriel Milito, the team has only suffered one defeat in the last six matches in the local championship. However, it currently stands in ninth place in the ranking with 23 points, as three of those games ended in draws.
Despite being one of the seven teams with over 20 goals scored in the tournament, two of those draws were scoreless. It’s worth noting that both were away from home.
When playing at home, things change drastically for The Bug of the Paternal, as it has only lost one of the seven matches played at its stadium and has scored 17 of the 21 goals it has registered in the championship.
Possible Lineup (3-5-1-1): Alexis Martín Arias; Kevin Mac Allister, Marco Di Cesare, Lucas Villalba; Leonel González, Santiago Montiel, Franco Moyano, Álan Rodríguez, Javier Cabrera; Gastón Verón, Gabriel Ávalos.
Betting on Club Atlético Boca Juniors
Little by little, Boca Juniors has been improving its performance after a disastrous start to the season, and this Friday it has a great opportunity to keep climbing the standings against a direct rival.
The Xeneizes have only lost one of the last four matches. That game was two matchdays ago in the Super derby against River Plate. Furthermore, this team is in 13th place in the standings with 21 points, just two units behind Argentinos Juniors, who is in ninth place and has the last spot for the Sudamericana Cup.
The key to getting out of the bad moment has been an improvement in the offense. In fact, after scoring just 13 goals in the first 12 games of the season, the team led by Jorge Almirón has added seven goals in the last four matches.
Regarding its performance as visitors, Boca Juniors has lost four of the seven games it has played so far and has scored the same number of goals as it has conceded, with eight.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Sergio Romero; Marcelo Weigandt, Facundo Roncaglia, Jorge Figal, Frank Fabra; Martín Payero, Cristian Medina, Oscar Romero; Luis Advíncula, Darío Benedetto, Sebastián Villa Cano.
JefeBet Prediction
The battle for the Copa Sudamericana spots will be fierce until the end of the season, and these two teams must continue to rack up three points in order to be ready for that tough fight.
Argentinos Juniors comes into the match in a good moment, undefeated in the Copa Libertadores and with only one loss at home this season. However, the team’s intermittent offensive play could make it difficult for it to face Boca’s solid defense.
On the other hand, The Xeneizes have improved in recent matches, although their performance away from home has been truly poor. This seems unlikely to improve this week against a top-notch team like The Bug of the Paternal.
Prediction: Under (ARG 1 – BOC 1)
