Betting on Boca Juniors
The Boca Juniors team just seems to find it easier to win than the rest of the teams in the Argentine First Division. The team is incredibly efficient in maintaining its lead during matches, however, and simultaneously, it has been dull. Hugo Ibarra’s team has only scored seven goals, and the last Argentine First Division match was won 2-1 against Vélez. In fact, when Boca wins, it does so by just one goal difference. It can practically be said that it has nothing to spare.
Moreover, during the week, the team won the 2020 Supercopa Argentina (a final match that was pending due to the Covid-19 pandemic) with a 3-0 score over Patronato, a National B team. The night in question signified the comeback of Darío Benedetto to the initial lineup, after he was expelled for making gestures during the Trofeo de Campeones match against Racing in November 2022.
Although he scored all three of the Xeneize‘s goals, all indications are that Miguel Merentiel will be the starting 9 on Monday, and that Sergio Romero, Bruno Valdéz and Pol Fernández will also return to the starting lineup.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Sergio Romero; Luis Advíncula, Bruno Valdez, Nicolás Figal, Frank Fabra; Alan Varela, Pol Fernández, Óscar Romero; Luca Langoni, Sebastián Villa, Miguel Merentiel.
Betting on Defensa y Justicia
The team from Florencio Varela is the leader of the Professional League with 12 points, the same number as Lanús, Talleres and San Lorenzo. The team has won four out of five matches. The only match Defensa lost was against Huracán, in its debut, by 2-4 score at home.
Moreover, the team has scored 10 goals and has conceded only four so far and for a goal difference of +6. Nicolás Fernández is the team’s top scorer (3) and one of the highest scorers in the Argentine League. Finally, last weekend, the team defeated the weak Atlético Tucumán team with a 3-0 score at home.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Luis Unsain; Agustín Santanna, Nazareno Colombo, Tomás Cardona, Alexis Soto; Julián López, Kevin Gutiérrez; David Barbona, Santiago Solari, Rodrigo Bogarín; Nicolás Fernández.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of Boca Juniors vs Defensa y Justicia shows that they have met nine times, of which the Auriazul has won six times and the Halcón de Varela just once. The remaining two matches ended in a draw.
In this clash, a team that is solid on defense will meet a team that bets on its attack. Will Julio Vaccari’s team be as offensive at La Bombonera? Boca’s individuals have the potential to be lethal if they are given space, so this will be a very close match.
Thus, at JefeBet we believe that Boca Juniors will win by the minimum difference, as we are accustomed to seeing.
Prediction: Boca Juniors wins 2-1.
