Our Best Picks and Betting Tips for Boca Juniors vs Platense
Boca Juniors to Win
The home team has not had their best performance in the last two rounds but we know that at their best level, they can beat any team. In the last two meetings between these two teams, the home team was the winner. Taking this into account, the Boca Juniors vs Platense prediction on this occasion will be a new victory for The host..
Under 2.5 Goals
In Boca Juniors’ two home games this season they kept a clean sheet and scored just one goal in total. Despite the poor result last time out, the home side certainly has one of the strongest defences in the tournament. For those reasons, we expect to see less than 2.5 goals in this battle.
BTTS – No
Six of the home team’s last eight games have ended with few goals, one of the reasons being that few teams manage to overcome the Xeneize defence. The away team has nine consecutive games conceding goals. Taking into account the Boca Juniors vs Platense line ups, perhaps Platense will be the only team to concede goals in this duel, but they are unlikely to score a goal.
Boca Juniors vs Platense Preview: Getting Back To Winning Ways
Boca Juniors
Like last season, El Xeneize did not start the season in the best way. After three matchdays Hugo Ibarra’s team only has 4 points, with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 defeat.
In matchday 3, Boca Juniors visited Talleres de Córdoba. A first-half goal from La T and an own goal from Ezequiel Fernandez made things difficult for El Xeneize, who lost Sebastian Villa to a red card and only reduced the lead with a goal from Luca Langoni.
Platense
The team coached by Martin Palermo is one of the few that is still undefeated but has won just one match. But their only victory came in the only away game they have played so far.
In the recent game against Atletico Tucuman, Mauro Quiroga opened the scoring in Platense’s favour but El Calamar’s mistake was to retreat into their own half trying to hold on to their lead. In the second half, Platense did not shoot once on target and instead kept Atletico Tucuman leveled the score.
