Deportivo Riestra vs Boca Juniors
📖 The Preview
Boca are right in the thick of the title race and simply can't afford to drop points here, which counts for a lot. Riestra are rooted to the bottom of the table and though they've had more rest coming into this one, the gulf in quality and motivation is tough to overcome. The models give Boca a 62% chance of winning, and with neither side expected to run riot, a tight 0-1 away win feels right — Boca do just enough, Riestra rue their situation once again.
