Three points is the only outcome that will please the Boca Juniors supporters in this Estadio Alberto Jacinto Armando duel with Central Cordoba SdE, as they have a robust lead on their opponents in the Superliga standings.

Insights:
  • Boca Juniors have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (14) in Superliga

The hosts Juniors saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Copa Argentina. That game was an away game at Talleres Cordoba, so at least Juniors are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Central Cordoba SdE have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Central Cordoba SdE goalkeeper Cesar Omar Taborda is eager to challenge this, with his 202 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

The supporters enjoyed Central's previous game versus Union Santa Fe (placed 14th), a Superliga 2-0 win played at home. Nahuel Banegas, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.3. Banegas scored one goal and won 4 of 8 duels.
