Belgrano vs Boca Juniors Predictions
[wptb id=389433]
A Tactical Tango in the Argentine Top Flight
Key Stats
– Boca Juniors have suffered 13 defeats this season, five more than their entire 2022 campaign.
– Lucas Passerini has been instrumental for Belgrano, accounting for 50% of their goals this phase.
The illustrious Estadio Julio Cesar Villagra is set to host an intriguing encounter between Belgrano and Boca Juniors, both of whom are looking to solidify their positions in the Argentine Primera Division. Fresh off their exhilarating semi-final triumph over Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores, Boca Juniors are now eying their spot in next season’s competition. They’ll face a reinvigorated Belgrano side, who after a stuttering end to their last phase have found a new resilience in defence.
Belgrano’s Resurgence
Belgrano’s recent domestic form starkly contrasts their earlier lacklustre performance, where they failed to find the net in six consecutive games. Now unbeaten in seven consecutive matches, they’ve become a defensive powerhouse, keeping a clean sheet in their last four fixtures. These performances are even more impressive given this is their first season back in the top flight after a four-year hiatus.

Guillermo Farre’s team showcases a blend of tactical discipline and home advantage. At Estadio Julio Cesar Villagra, they’ve turned their home turf into a fortress, with opposition teams finding it hard to breach their defence. It’s no surprise that they’ve notched the second-highest goal tally in Group B in front of their adoring home crowd.
Boca’s Mixed Bag
Contrastingly, Boca Juniors’ season has been a rollercoaster. While they have their sights set on equaling Independiente’s Libertadores title count, their domestic form raises eyebrows. They’ve tasted defeat 13 times already, which is a staggering five more than their entire 2022 campaign. Worryingly for Jorge Almiron’s side, they’ve often crumbled after conceding the first goal, failing to mount a comeback in 10 of those matches.
However, one can’t dismiss Boca’s impressive record against Belgrano. In their last nine encounters, Boca have lost only once, underlining their dominance in this fixture. The history, coupled with their recent high from the Copa Libertadores victory, means that they can’t be underestimated.
Key Players to Watch
For Belgrano, Lucas Passerini has been in scintillating form, with four of the team’s goals this phase credited to him. However, the absence of Pablo Vegetti, who had an impressive 12 goals in the opening phase before being loaned out, might weigh heavily on them.
On the other side, Lucas Janson’s recent scoring exploits for Boca, along with contributions from Lucas Blondel and Dario Benedetto, make them potent threats. Edinson Cavani’s recent goal, despite his penalty miss, adds another layer of unpredictability to the mix.
Predictions
- Match Outcome: Based on the current form and statistics, a draw seems the most likely outcome. Both teams have shown defensive solidity, with Belgrano not conceding in their last four and Boca showing resilience against top teams.
- Correct Score: Given both teams’ recent defensive records, a low-scoring game is anticipated. A 1-1 draw appears a justified prediction.
- Goal Scorer: Lucas Passerini, given his current form, is highly likely to find the back of the net for Belgrano. For Boca, Lucas Janson, with goals in two of the last three domestic matches, is the man to watch.
- Corner Prediction: Boca Juniors, with their average of 5.3 corners per game, seems likely to edge out Belgrano in the corner tally. The total number of corners in the match might hover around the 8-10 mark, given both teams’ statistics.
