Talleres de Cordoba vs Boca Juniors Predictions

• Talleres have won just 2 of their last 10 Superliga matches, losing 6 times in the process.
• Boca have lost just 2 of their 8 away matches this term, winning 4 times and conceding just 3 goals in the process.
• Boca have won the last 3 games between the two; the latter two of which by 1-0 margins.

Talleres under big pressure

It wasn’t a happy start for Talleres in their return to Superliga action as they put in a terrible performance to lose 4-1 away at Defensa y Justicia. The result and manner of it has the team under big pressure, with the build up to this game with Boca overshadowed by messages left at the club’s stadium by supporters demanding improvement. 

Indeed, having hoped to push for a Libertadores place, Talleres are underwhelming this term and come into this round of fixtures stationed in 14th place. Having won just 2 of their last 10 league matches, losing 6 times in the process, confidence is not high in home ranks at the moment and La T’s prospects do not look bright heading into Monday’s match.

Boca looking for away victory

Meanwhile, Boca didn’t kick 2020 off in stunning fashion themselves. There was a lot of fanfare heading into last weekend’s clash with Independiente due to political changes and the return of Miguel Angel Russo to the club but El Xeneize could only manage to secure a point in a 0-0 stalemate that disappointed the Bombonera crowd.

3 points behind leaders and arch rivals River Plate, Boca cannot afford to drop further points in the hunt to regain the domestic crown and 3 points will certainly be the target in this trip to Cordoba.  Having lost just twice on the road all term, winning 4 of their 8 trips in the process, Boca are a strong outfit on their travels and confidence will be high in getting the job done on Monday.

Boca have to be fancied

Ultimately, there can only be one side fancied to win this clash and that’s Boca. Talleres are in poor form, are low on confidence and come into the game under massive pressure from their fans and a far weaker outfit than Boca on paper, this match up is truly the last thing they need right now.

All things considered, backing a Boca win looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do. Boca have won the last 3 meetings between the two and with the latter two of said victories having been by 1-0 margins, that’s a scoreline we think this Monday’s affair could well end in.
