On Tuesday, Argentinos Juniors host Boca Juniors at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in the Argentinian Superliga.
Argentinos Juniors are currently 14th in the Superliga table after a mixed league campaign so far this season. The home side have failed to win in their last three league games, picking up one draw and suffering two defeats.
Last time out they lost 2-0 at Talleres Cordoba. The game was the home side’s third consecutive outing where they had conceded two goals in the Superliga.
Alfredo Berti’s side are unbeaten in their last four Superliga games on home soil, recording two wins and two draws. In fact, they have recorded victories in five of their last eight home games.
The home side have been prolific on home soil in recent Superliga games, scoring two or more goals in six of their last eight outings.
Boca Juniors currently top the Superliga table, eight points clear of second-place Talleres Cordoba with a game in-hand.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last seven outings in the Argentinian top-flight, having recorded six wins in the process. Seven of Boca’s last eight games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored. However, last time out a 4-2 win over San Martin ended a low scoring run of games.
Boca have lost just one of their last 22 games on their travels in the Superliga, dating back to last season. Their recent away games have been low scoring, with five of their last six games on their travels in the Superliga producing under 2.5 goals.
Interestingly four of the last six meetings between these two teams have ended in draws, with both sides claiming a victory apiece.
Forebet predicts that Boca’s recent good run of form will continue, with the league leaders recording a victory in a high scoring game.
