They both shoot – yes

river plate

The only leader of the championship is River Plate, who is ahead of the nearest chaser – San Lorenzo by 6 points. However, such a high position of “millionaires” is hardly justified by the quality of their football. They scored 7.23 points more than expected, indicating the luck factor. Martin Demichelis’ team’s problems came to light in the last match of the Copa Libertadores group stage against Fluminense (1: 5). And earlier in the national championship, Atlético Tucuman (1-1) managed to break River Plate’s eight-game winning streak.

Boca Juniors

The reigning Argentine champions, Boca Juniors, had a management crisis at the beginning of the season. At the beginning of the championship, the team was led by Hugo Ibarra, who lasted for 8 rounds. Then Mariano Herron tried his hand, and now Jorge Almiron is responsible for the results. In such a merry-go-round of coaches, there can be no question of any stable results. After 14 rounds, the “blue and gold” scored only 18 points and was ranked 13th in the table. True, with a new manager, they gradually begin to develop. In the last game, Racing lost (3:1), and in the Libertadores Cup, the Genoese managed to take 1st place in their group.

Forecast

Both teams have a busy schedule and are not spared any problems in defense. In such an exciting match, it could lead to a goal exchange.
