Boca Juniors form and stats

Boca Juniors are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Superliga games here at Estadio Alberto Jacinto Armando. The Juniors manager M. Russo might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Juniors fans got no joy from their last match, a Superliga game also here at Estadio Alberto Jacinto Armando: A 1-2 defeat against Lanus (placed 3rd). Preceding that match was the home game against Talleres Cordoba that was lost 0-1.

There will be little rest for Juniors after this match as they are travelling to Internacional for a Copa Libertadores game in only three days.
