Aldosivi vs Boca
After finishing last term with two consecutive victories, Aldosivi had a sorry 2022 season opener and succumbed to a 2-0 away defeat at Velez Sarsfield, having conceded twice in the second half. Following that defeat, the team remain occupying the 23rd spot of the relegation table, six points above the drop zone. On a positive note, El Tiburon have been strong at home under coach Martin Palermo, having managed four successes in five games (but their only defeat was to Boca Juniors 3-0).
Boca Juniors had to settle for a devastating 1-1 home draw against Colon last Sunday, when they conceded the equaliser just four minutes before the final whistle. As a result, Sebastian Battaglia’s men lost only one of their last seven league matches, having managed three victories and three draws in that span. On the road, El Xeneize won one of their last four domestic games, drawing one and losing two, but that victory was at Aldosivi 3-0 in November.
Can’t imagine Boca making the same mistake as last weekend and missing so many chances, while Aldosivi will have their top scorer Cauteruccio again, so I expect goals here.
