In the early hours of Friday (CET), Arsenal Sarandi and Boca Juniors go head-to-head at the Estadio Julio Humberto Grondona in the Argentinian Primera Division.
Arsenal Sarandi form guideThe home team have endured a difficult league campaign in the Primera Division, as they are currently in 27th place in the standings, having taken just 14 points from their 18 league games this season.
A 1-0 defeat at Atletico Tucuman last time out was the eighth loss in their previous ten matches in the Argentinian top flight. The game also saw Arsenal fail to score for the third time in their last four league matches.
The Avellaneda-based team has a patchy recent home record in the Argentinian top flight. Arsenal have won just three of their previous nine league matches on home soil.
Although they have struggled for consistency on home soil, they have been consistent in front of goal at home, scoring at least two goals in four of their last five home games in the Argentinian top flight.
Boca Juniors form guideThe visitors head into this clash after a strong recent run of form in the Primera Division, having won four of their previous five league matches. A 1-0 win over Tigre last time out means that Boca have also kept three straight clean sheets in the Argentinian top flight.
Their recent matches in the Primera Division have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four league outings.
The visitors have a mixed recent away record in the Argentinian top flight, as a 1-0 win at Argentinos Juniors in their previous away game in the league ended a three-game winless run on their travels.
What am I backing?Boca Juniors head into this capital clash in better form than the home team, and I am backing the visitors to continue their recent strong form in this clash.
