Boca vs Central Cordoba
Boca Juniors had to fight more than expected in their 2023 league debut but they still had enough to beat Atletico Tucuman 1-0 at home, with Oscar Romero netting the winner in the 69th minute. The defending champions took the three points in an intense game to make it three league matches unbeaten (two victories and one draw) and 11 home matches unbeaten in domestic action (winning eight and drawing three).
CA Central Cordoba new coach Leonardo Madelon will have a lot of work to do. His totally renewed squad had a poor debut last weekend, when they lost 2-0 to River Plate at home and could have suffered a heavier rout. As a result, El Ferroviario made it five defeats across the last six matches in league action and continue edging closer the relegation zone: they are now 23rd-placed in the respective table. On a positive note, Central won three of their last five away matches, along with two defeats.
Boca is a very underish team, with a good defense but struggles to score and I expect this to continue as they will face a Central Cordoba that won’t might defending and taking a point in this game.
