Platense vs Boca Juniors
📖 The Preview
Boca come into this one with serious motivation, sitting second in the title race and needing every point they can get. Platense, on the other hand, are in real trouble at the wrong end of the table with absolutely no cushion keeping them off the drop, and their recent form has been patchy at best. The head-to-head record heavily favours Boca too. Platense will make a fight of it, but a clean sheet for Boca and two goals without reply looks the likeliest outcome here.
