Boca Juniors claimed an easy 2-0 home win over Union Santa Fe last Sunday, with Ramon Abila and Alexis Mac Allister scoring. Therefore, Gustavo Alfaro’s men remain as league leaders on 28 points. The team managed seven points from the last nine available since their last defeat at Lanus. At home, Boca lost only once (to Racing Club 1-0), registering four successes and two draws.
Thanks to a goal from Gabriel Hauche in the second half, Argentinos Juniors returned to winning ways after one draw and one defeat by beating Newell’s Old Boys 1-0 at home. The victory also means El Bicho continue as league leaders on 28 points (alongside Saturday’s opponents). Nevertheless, Diego Dabove’s men performed an irregular away campaign so far, collecting only nine points in seven games.

Argentinos won’t have their best defender and Boca has conceded goals in 3 of their last 4 home games, so I like the chance of having goals here.
