Cerro Porteno vs Boca Juniors Betting Tips & Predictions

These two have faced each other six times before with Cerro Porteño failing to beat Boca in any of their meetings, they will be hoping they can reverse their previous fortunes though and give themselves a good chance of progressing to the next round at Boca’s expense. Cerro Porteño have never won the competition but have reached the semi-finals on six separate occasions. Their opponents meanwhile, have a rich history in the tournament having won the trophy six times, most recently in 2007.

Judging by the performance so far in the group stages Boca Juniors have to be considered the favourites in this fixture, their defence has been solid despite playing in a tough group and they have so far avoided defeat in the six matches they have played. Their away form might cause them problems though as they have only registered one win in their last six games away from home.

Based on previous results between the two teams and their current form I think Boca will come out on top, despite their poor away form, they have outclassed their opponents in nearly all of their previous meetings and are unbeaten in this competition so far. Boca Juniors to win is currently priced at 13/10 with Betfair.

Judging by their scoring record between the two teams, 2.2 goals per game on average, we should see one or maybe two goals from Boca. It’s likely Cerro Porteno will struggle to score based on their 1 goal per game average in the groups and 0.8 goals per game against Boca Juniors. As a result Boca Juniors to win 0-2 looks good value at 9/1 with Betfair.
