Argentinos Juniors vs Boca Juniors Prediction: Boca Juniors Poised for a Strong Start After Solid International Test

Argentinos Juniors enter the match on a strong run of form, boasting a 10-match unbeaten streak in regular time. Although they were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Apertura by San Lorenzo, they followed that with a convincing 3-0 victory against Excursionistas in the Argentine Cup.

Boca Juniors recently participated in the Club World Cup in the USA, failing to advance past the group stage. They earned only two points from three matches: a 1-2 loss to Bayern Munich, a 2-2 draw with Benfica, and a 1-1 draw with Auckland City. Similar to Argentinos, Boca also reached the Apertura quarterfinals, where they were defeated by Independiente.

Historical data heavily favors Boca Juniors in this fixture. Across 141 total meetings, Argentinos Juniors have won only 30 times, with 41 draws and 70 losses. The goal difference stands at 165-253 for Boca. In matches played at Argentinos' home ground (72 meetings), the hosts have won just 25% of the time (18 wins), with draws occurring in 29% and Boca winning 46%. The away goal difference at this venue is 84-118 in Boca's favor.

The analysis highlights that while Boca may not be elite currently, their competitive performances against strong European sides (Benfica, Bayern) in the Club World Cup provided valuable match practice that Argentinos Juniors lacks. This leads to the prediction that Boca Juniors have a decent chance of securing a positive result away from home. Consequently, the main betting prediction is Double Chance X2 (Draw or Boca Win) at 1.65 (Betway), a secondary tip is Draw (X) at 2.82 (1xbet), and a final tip is Correct Score 1-1 at 6.00 (bet365).
