Underdogs Rising: Boca Juniors’ Fight to Escape Mid-table Mediocrity
Key Stats
– Boca Juniors boast an average of 1.1 goals per game, indicating a strong offensive performance.
– Huracan, struggling to win games, are on a 13-match winless streak across all competitions.
As the battle to ascend from mid-table obscurity rages on in the Argentine Primera Division, Buenos Aires’ local giants Boca Juniors prepare to square off against city rivals Huracan. A turbulent season finds Boca in the 11th spot after 23 matches, while Huracan grapple with their challenges near the bottom of the league standings.
Inconsistent Form: The Struggle of Boca Juniors
After failing to achieve victory in their fifth consecutive away fixture, Boca Juniors found themselves locked in a goalless stalemate against Union Santa Fe. This tepid performance has left them marooned in the middle of the pack, trailing a significant 21 points behind their nemesis, River Plate. Boca, a side still in the shadow of their previous season’s triumphant 35th top-flight title, have bagged only nine wins, mirroring their loss count in the current term.

Despite the hitches in their domestic performance, Boca’s international standing has shown promise. Their recent 4-0 triumph over Monagas secured them the pole position in Copa Libertadores Group F, setting up a knockout clash against Nacional next month. However, before embarking on their journey for a seventh continental title, Boca, under the guidance of Jorge Almiron, must face Huracan, a team desperate for a win.
The Huracan Conundrum: Decline and Hope
Once a team that finished a mere five points behind the 2022 champions Boca, Huracan’s fall from grace has been abrupt. Their winless streak extends to 13 matches in all competitions, and they have found themselves second from the bottom following a narrow 1-0 defeat against Atletico Tucuman. In response to this drastic decline, the club bid farewell to coach Sebastian Battaglia and welcomed former Tigre coach Diego Martinez, hoping for a change in fortunes.
In this Monday night clash, Martinez could seek to reignite the memories of Huracan’s 1-0 victory at La Bombonera last year, when Uruguayan forward Matias Coccaro etched his name on the scoresheet. With a new coach at the helm and the inspiration from a past victory, Huracan will be looking to cause an upset.
Predictions and Analysis
Given the recent form of both teams, one might expect Boca Juniors to have the upper hand. While Huracan is stuck in a rut, Boca boasts a healthy 50% win rate since Almiron’s arrival in April. Almiron has the additional boost of the return to full fitness of key players such as Ezequiel Fernandez, Oscar Romero, Exequiel Zeballos, and star striker Dario Benedetto. On the other hand, Huracan’s attacking duo of Coccaro and Nicolas Cordero, their leading scorer with four goals, will need to step up their game to make an impact.
Boca’s offensive strength, coupled with their high ball possession (60.0%), more successful dribbles per game (14.0), and higher shot accuracy, predicts a favourable outcome for them. However, Huracan’s four-goal top scorer Nicolas Cordero might have a say, implying the possibility of both teams scoring.
Considering Boca’s home advantage, stronger squad, and recent form, we predict a 3-1 victory for Boca Juniors in the correct score market. This prediction also takes into account Boca’s average of 1.1 goals per game and Huracan’s 1.2 goals conceded per game, with the hosts expected to increase their ratio with the home advantage.
