Boca Juniors welcome The Strongest to La Bombonera on Wednesday, with both sides still capable of qualifying for the Copa Libertadores knockout phase.
With just one game to play in Group C, Boca Juniors sit second – three points behind first-place Barcelona SC.
The Strongest find themselves bottom of the group. However, they sit level with third-place Santos on six points and only one point behind Boca.
Boca kicked off their Copa Libertadores campaign with back-to-back wins over The Strongest and Santos, keeping two clean sheets along the way.
However, the Argentine side have only managed to take one point from their previous three Libertadores matches.
Regardless of their recent poor run, it is worth remembering that Boca Juniors have kept three clean sheets in five Libertadores games this season – giving them a shutout rate of 60%.
In their previous domestic match, Boca beat bitter rivals River Plate 4-2 on penalties, with the game finishing 1-1 after 90 minutes.
On the flip side, The Strongest have picked up two wins and three defeats from their five Copa Libertadores encounters this term.
Still, they have only managed to score four goals along the way – conceding a whopping 11 goals in the process.
Having conceded 11 goals in five Libertadores matches, The Strongest are conceding over two goals per game in the tournament.
It is also worth noting that The Strongest have failed to win any of their previous three away games in the competition, conceding over 1.5 goals on each occasion.
In their previous domestic game, The Strongest extend their six-game unbeaten streak with a 3-0 victory over Royal Pari.
Head-to-head: In last month’s reverse fixture, Boca beat The Strongest 1-0 thanks to Sebastian Villa’s seventh-minute goal.
However, The Strongest enjoyed 66% and racked up 16 shots, although they failed to register a single shot on target.
Team news: Boca are currently without injured winger Eduardo Salvio, while midfielder Cristian Medin is a doubt due to coronavirus.
Meanwhile, The Strongest have no fresh injury concerns as they prepare to travel to the Argentinian capital.
It is no secret that Boca are enduring a difficult run at the moment, but the hosts are expected to claim a narrow victory on home soil.
Forebet predicts that Boca will record a low-scoring win over The Strongest. A clean sheet is also on the cards for the Argentine giant.
