Struggling Colón will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Boca Juniors in the upcoming league round. It’s 22nd vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Colón form and stats
Colón have collected 17 points from their Superliga home games so far after 5-2-4.
In their previous game, the manager D. Osella led his Colón to a defeat in the Superliga match away at Newell's Old Boys. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López. Before that, Colón drew at home versus Racing Club.
Colón were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Colón are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. On the other hand, Colón have conceded 13 goals.
Boca Juniors form and stats
Boca Juniors's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Boca Juniors, who have the most clean sheets (14) in Superliga, collect 20 points from their 10 away matches in the Superliga. 6 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). The fact that Boca Juniors have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Boca Juniors love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Boca Juniors have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Esteban Andrada. It's been 280 minutes since they last conceded in Superliga.
Eduardo Salvio (2) and Carlos Tévez scored in Boca Juniors's previous match, the home game against Godoy Cruz that ended 3-0. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Central Cordoba SdE at their stadium, the result 4-0.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Boca Juniors manager M. Russo as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Caracas.
Boca Juniors find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. The Boca Juniors defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (4 goals in 10 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: zero - one - three (Colón wins - draws - Boca Juniors wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
