Boca Juniors vs CA Aldosivi Predictions

Monday’s Superliga Argentina action sees Boca Juniors doing battle with Aldosivi at La Bombonera. The hosts arrive as huge favourites to win the match and are expected to do so without any real issues.

Boca arrive under pressure from the fans, after crashing out of the Argentine Cup on penalties to second division Almagro in midweek. Said defeat has caused big embarrassment for El Xeneize and they’ll be itching to get out onto the pitch on Monday and put in a far stronger performance.

After losing their hold on the domestic crown to Racing Club last season, winning the Superliga is of real importance to Boca this season and with by far the strongest squad in the league, there’s big expectations on them. As such, Gustavo Alfaro’s troops can ill afford to get off to a slow start and after drawing their opening match at home to Huracan, they at least set the ball rolling last weekend with a comfortable 2-0 win away at Patronato.

Meanwhile, after achieving their aim of staying in the top flight upon their return to it last season, Aldosivi will be looking for another strong campaign to keep their heads above relegation water on the average points table. Nonetheless, having lost key man Cristian Chavez over the off-season, Los Tiburones don’t look a particularly strong outfit and it could be a long season for them.

Indeed, Aldosivi haven’t got off to a great start and arrive with confidence fairly low, having lost 1-0 at Estudiantes and only mustering a 0-0 draw at home to Argentinos Juniors last week. Notoriously weak on the road, the visitors prospects do not look bright coming into this game and they’ve lost 4 of their last 5 away games overall, as well as having failed to score in 6 of their last 7 outings on the road.

Ultimately, it’s more than apparent who is the favourite to win this match and it’s very difficult to envisage Boca dropping points in it. Man for man, they are far stronger than Aldosivi in all areas of the pitch and taking to the pitch wounded from their midweek defeat, they’ll be desperate to avoid any slip ups here.

All things considered, backing Boca to win to nil looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is exactly where our money is going. Boca are unbeaten in 10 home games, of which they’ve won 8 and having kept a clean sheet in their last 4 outings in front of the home crowd, they shouldn’t be troubled by a shot shy visiting outfit, with a 2-0 margin of home victory looking well on the cards.
