Boca Unidos is in the 12th league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. For Crucero most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Boca Unidos form and stats

5 victories, 8 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Boca Unidos have to build on here at Estadio José Antonio Romero Feris in the Torneo Federal A.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 287 minutes.

A nice win for Boca Unidos last time playing, versus Crucero del Norte. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-0. Finally, a league win after three games without one. As mentioned above, Unidos "killed" Crucero del Norte in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Sportivo Las Parejas the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Boca Unidos have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Betting heads-up: This club have played 5 league rounds in a row with only one (or none) club scoring.

Unidos have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio José Antonio Romero Feris with 24 goals in 16 league matches. From these home matches, Boca Unidos have conceded only 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Crucero del Norte form and stats

There's been little loot from Crucero del Norte's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 16 away games in the Torneo Federal A. Crucero del Norte only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Crucero del Norte, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-5 versus Boca Unidos (placed 12th). Crucero del Norte lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Juventud Antoniana.

Crucero are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.

Stats flash: 14 of the last 17 league games involving this club have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Crucero del Norte manager Dechat has some worries about the defense as 33 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Boca Unidos have avoided defeat in the last 4 fixtures (1-3-0) facing Crucero del Norte.

Boca Unidos and Crucero del Norte have duelled previously this season: Boca Unidos - Crucero del Norte 5-0.
