Betting on Boca Juniors
Boca Juniors currently sits 10th in the Argentine League standings with 24 points, trailing 16 points behind the leader River Plate. In 17 games, they have won seven times, drawn three, and lost seven, a significant number for the reigning champions. In addition, they’ve scored 21 goals while conceding 16.
Their last match in the domestic league was against Argentinos Juniors, whom they beat 1-0 thanks to a last minute goal from Miguel Merentiel. That night Boca had 45% of ball possession, attempted only five shots on target, and succeeded in three, while Argentinos tried 20 and hit just one. Boca committed more fouls than the home team (17 vs 13) and conceded five corners while only having one in their favor.
During the week, they played in the Copa Libertadores against Colombia’s Deportivo Pereira of Colombia, as a visitor. The result was 0-1 against Deportivo Pereira, losing 0-1 away, which could affect their confidence ahead of the match against Tigre.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Sergio Romero; Marcelo Weigandt, Facundo Roncaglia, Jorge Figal and Frank Fabra; Martín Payero, Pol Fernández and Juan Ramírez; Sebastián Villa, Miguel Merentiel and Norberto Briasco.
Betting on Tigre
Tigre currently occupies the 14th place in the league with 22 points. In 17 matches, they have won five times, drawn seven times, and lost five, scoring 17 goals and conceding 18. When it comes to goals, we cannot fail to mention their number 9, Mateo Retegui, who leads the scoring charts with 10 goals.
Last Saturday, they drew 0-0 against Atlético Tucumán at home. It could be argued that it was an unjust result, as Tigre was the clear dominator of the match, with 63% possession of the ball, 19 attempts on target, and 5 on goal, much more than the rival strikers’ 10 attempts (only 1 was successful).
It is also worth mentioning that during the week they played against Deportes Tolima in the Copa Sudamericana, Deportes Tolima and like last weekend, the result ended goalless.
Probable lineup (4-3-2-1): Gonzalo Marinelli; Martín Garay, Víctor Cabrera, Víctor Aguilera and Lucas Blondel; Lucas Menossi, Agustín Cardozo and Cristian Zabala; Alexis Castro and Facundo Colidio; and Mateo Retegui.
JefeBet Prediction
There is no doubt that this will be a great match to be played at La Bombonera! The two teams have an attacking approach, and Boca’s defense showed some weaknesses, which will undoubtedly be capitalized by Mateo Retegui.
Anyway, at JefeBet we think Boca Juniors will come out on top, so we expect a match with many goals; with that in mind, if you bet $100 on the Over (2.5) line at DraftKings your reward could be $220!
Prediction: Boca Juniors to win (BOC 3 – TIG 2).
