Our Right River Plate vs Boca Juniors Prediction and Picks
River Plate to Win
This season the home team has a squad envied by other clubs. It is for this reason that few teams have been able to take points off El Millonario. It has been a long time since one of these two teams has had much of an advantage over the other in the odds, but River have had to take into account El Xeneize’s inconsistent form in recent weeks.
Based on the style of Martin Demichelis’ team, our River Plate vs Boca Juniors prediction is that the home team’s fans will celebrate victoriously after the end of the 90 minutes.
River Plate to Score First
The visiting team had many defensive lapses throughout the championship, in fact in five of their last seven matchups they were the first to concede a goal. The home team has turned each of its lines into strengths that are very difficult to overcome. They have several top players in their back line, so it is likely that River Plate will be the ones to open the scoring.
Goals in Both Halves
We expect to see goals from the first half until the final minutes of this promising match. Both River Plate vs Boca Juniors line ups have scored a good amount of goals in the last few rounds, so it would not be unusual to see goals during both halves of the best match in Argentina’s top flight.
The Right River Plate vs Boca Juniors Review
River Plate
The team had a couple of stumbles before the clásico against Boca Juniors. The first was their draw against Atlético Tucumán on the last day of the Argentine tournament. However, it was satisfying for El Millonario to earn a point after playing for more than an hour with a player down due to the sending-off of José Paradela, who received a pair of yellow cards in the same minute.
The team coached by Martín Demichelis then visited Fluminense. In this match, the Argentinian team had many defensive problems which were taken advantage of by their opponents. In consecutive match River Plate was left with a man down, this time it was Leandro Gonzalez Pirez. The match ended 5-1 in favour of Fluminense, a shameful result before the clásico.
Boca Juniors
The squad led by coach Jorge Almirón put an end to a run of irregular results and have now gone four consecutive matches without defeat. The team has won two victories in the last two rounds of the Argentine professional football league, making it the leader of its group in the Copa Libertadores, and there has been a draw in the last two rounds.
On matchday 14, Boca Juniors played at home against Racing Club and won convincingly 3-1. The goals were scored by Martín Payero, Pol Fernández, and Miguel Marientel. The Xeneize team is in great shape to face their next challenge against the championship leader and their eternal rivals.
