Boca Juniors
After finishing 2nd behind an impressive Racing Club in the first phase of the campaign, Boca Juniors will be out to live up to the reputation they’ve built for themselves. When you think of Argentine football at the club level you think of Boca Juniors, and they’ve got the squad needed to go pretty far this season – provided they can avoid complacency.

Team News

Izquierdoz and Zambrano are both out through suspension, Gonzalez is out of action with a meniscus problem and Briasco won’t be available as a result of an ankle injury.

Banfield
A triumph in the Torneo Apertura back in 2009 served as the pinnacle for this historic club that dates back over 125 years. Their passionate fanbase often carries them through from season to season and while they may not be up there with the big boys all the time, they certainly know how to make some noise in big games – which is what they’ll be looking to do again here.

Team News

Cuadra is set to miss out for a few more weeks due to an ongoing injury issue with very few changes expected from their last outing.

Factors to Consider
Boca are 4th in the league’s second phase whereas Banfield are 7th.
Boca have won three, drawn one and lost two of their last six games.
Banfield have won two, drawn three and lost one of their last six games.
Boca have scored 10 goals and conceded seven in their last six games.
Banfield have scored six goals and conceded five in their last six games.
Conclusion
We don’t expect to see a whole lot of activity from either side here with Banfield likely defending deep, keeping themselves tight, with the intention of hitting Boca in the break if they can help it. They’re playing with house money and that should lead to a gritty game, but eventually, the hosts should do enough to get the three points and edge over the finish line with a 1-0 victory.

Prediction: Boca Juniors win

博卡青年队
在比赛的第一阶段落后于一个令人印象深刻的赛车俱乐部获得第二名后，博卡青年将不负他们为自己建立的声誉。当你想到阿根廷足球俱乐部的时候，你会想到博卡青年，他们拥有本赛季需要走得很远的阵容——只要他们能避免自满。

团队的新闻

伊兹基奥多斯和桑布拉诺都因停赛缺席，冈萨雷斯因为半月板问题不能参加比赛，布里亚斯科因为脚踝受伤也不能参加比赛。

班菲尔德
2009年在Torneo Apertura的胜利是这支拥有125年历史的俱乐部的巅峰。他们热情的粉丝群经常帮助他们度过一个又一个赛季，虽然他们可能不会一直与大男孩们在一起，但他们肯定知道如何在大型比赛中制造一些声音——这是他们将再次期待在这里做的。

团队的新闻

由于持续的伤病问题，Cuadra将会缺席更多的几周，他们的上一场比赛没有什么变化。

因素需要考虑
博卡在联赛第二阶段排名第4，而班菲尔德排名第7。
博卡在过去的6场比赛中取得3胜1平2负。
班菲尔德最近6场比赛2胜3平1负。
博卡在最近的6场比赛中打进10球，丢了7球。
班菲尔德在最近的6场比赛中打进6球，丢了5球。
结论
我们不希望看到任何一方有太多的动作，班菲尔德很可能会进行深度防守，保持紧密防守，如果他们有能力的话，他们会在中场休息时攻击博卡。他们玩的是赌场的钱，这应该会导致一场艰苦的比赛，但最终，东道主应该做足够的努力来获得三分，并以1-0的胜利超过终点线。

预测:博卡青年获胜
