Boca Juniors vs Estudiantes L.P.
📖 The Preview
Boca are at home and in the title race, so you'd think this is their game to win, but the numbers just don't back that up. Estudiantes actually sit top of the table and come into this with a stronger head-to-head record, having won more often than Boca in this fixture. Boca's form has been patchy too, losing more than winning across their last ten. Estudiantes look organised enough to nick one and defend it, and with neither side expected to run riot, a tight 1-0 away win makes plenty of sense.
