Central Cordoba vs Boca
CA Central Cordoba new coach Lucas Gonzalez Velez had a disappointing debut at the club. Last weekend, his team found a lot of difficulties on their visit to River Plate and succumbed to a 3-0 away defeat. That result means El Ferroviario are now on six league matches without a win, drawing three and losing three, which places them just six points above the relegation spot in the aggregate rankings. As hosts, Central remain winless in the last four, with three stalemates and one loss since beating Sarmiento 3-0 in February.
Boca Juniors showed a worrying start in the Liga Profesional last Sunday, when they were dominated by Atletico Tucuman and succumbed to an unexpected 1-0 away defeat. El Xeneize dropped down to ninth spot of the aggregate table, still qualifying for the 2025 Copa Sudamericana, after seeing their three-match unbeaten streak of two victories and one draw coming to an end. In fact, Boca lost four of their last six as the visiting side in league action, winning one and drawing one in that spell.
Boca is playing well but results are not coming their way and the midweek 1-1 vs Fortaleza in Copa Sudamericana after conceding a late goal in a game they should have won by 2 or 3 goals is a clear proof of this. Can’t trust them until they show something else, but one thing for sure is that with Cavani and Merentiel in attack they are always going to score at least once. Central Cordoba showed really poor defensive skills in the 0-3 debut vs River, they should go for more at home, so 2 goals are definitely possible here.
