Boca Juniors Preview
Boca started its participation in the 2023 Professional League with the right foot. If the team manages to win this competition, it would be claiming its title for the third time in a row, something unprecedented in its history full of glory. As we mentioned in the Boca Juniors vs Atletico Tucuman preview, the Xeneize won but did not play well at all, and only managed to win with a one-goal difference. It was barely enough, as it has become usual in recent times..
For the match against Central Cordoba, coach Hugo Ibarra will count on the Colombian Frank Fabra, who has returned from playing for his national team, and also with Norberto Briasco, who did not take part in the training camp last week. Meanwhile, Marcelo Weigandt could miss the match due to a possible muscle strain.
Finally, their most recent addition, Uruguayan striker Miguel Merentiel, passed the medical check-up but has not yet trained with his teammates. His debut with Boca will surely not take place this weekend, but will occur in future matches.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Sergio Romero; Luis Advíncula, Bruno Valdez, Nicolás Figal and Frank Fabra; Pol Fernández, Alan Varela and Juan Ramírez; Óscar Romero, Sebastián Villa and Nicolás Orsini.
Central Cordoba Preview
Central Córdoba has had a difficult start to the year, as it hosted River Plate in its debut and now has to visit Boca Juniors.
In the match against River, at no time did Luis Madelón’s team had the initiative nor did it show that it could take a point from the Millonario team, who only won by a 2-0 score, although the difference could have been greater.
Moreover, no injuries or suspensions have been reported in Central Cordoba, a team that has been reinforced with 18 new players for the 2023 season of the Professional League.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Marcos Ledesma; Brian Blasi, Fabio Pereyra, Gustavo Canto and Marcelo Benítez; Ciro Rius, Jesús Soraire, Enzo Kalinski and Leandro Ciccoloni; Facundo Castelli and Lucas Gamba.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of Boca Juniors vs Central Cordoba tell us that they played 5 times against each other. Boca won twice, and the team from Santiago del Estero won twice as well. In other words, they are tied, and although Boca is playing badly, at JefeBet we believe they will return to Buenos Aires with the three points.
Prediction: Boca Juniors wins 2-1.
