The Top Picks and Boca Juniors vs Pereira Prediction
Halftime Boca Juniors
In the first matchday, both teams struggled to generate scoring chances. However, it is worth noting that despite the bad moment Boca Juniors managed to rescue a point by playing with two players. The Xeneize team will have the support of their fans so the first Boca Juniors vs Pereira prediction is that the Argentine team will go to the break ahead on the scoreboard.
Boca Jrs to Score First in 1st Half
Despite the bad results that Boca Juniors got in their last matches, we think that in this duel they will be aggressive and try to score their first goal in the first minutes. The team urgently needs a result to turn the page, in matchday 1 Pereira conceded a first-half goal at home, and now that they will be playing at the famous La Bombonera stadium their defence is likely to be even more fragile.
Under 2.5 Goals
The goal production of these two teams in the last few rounds has not been positive at all. Due to the shortage of goals, their scoring average per game has decreased considerably. For this reason, we think that the team that scored the first goal will switch to a very defensive system to maintain their lead and therefore reduce the shots on goal. This has been a frequent strategy used by these two Boca Juniors vs Pereira line ups.
A Quick Boca Juniors vs Pereira Analysis
Boca Juniors
The Xeneize team is not going through a good moment at the beginning of the season. In their Copa Libertadores debut, they only managed a draw away to Monagas, a match where they ended up with nine players after the sending-off of Bruno Valdez and Facundo Roncaglia. Since then, Boca Juniors have played three matches in the Argentine professional league and lost all three. In this period they conceded four goals and scored just one.
Pereira
From the outset, the Argentinian team looked the strongest in the group, but Deportivo Pereira will be looking to take advantage of their opponent’s poor form to pick up points in Argentina. In the previous matchday, the team coached by Alejandro Restrepo played at home against Colo Colo. The Colombian team conceded a goal in the first half and could barely salvage a point with a late goal from Angelo Rodriguez.
