Boca Juniors vs Newells Old Boys Predictions

Sunday’s Superliga Argentina clash sees Boca Juniors doing battle with Newell’s Old Boys at La Bombonera. The hosts arrive as big favourites to claim the three points and will be looking to do exactly that.

After being dethroned of their domestic crown by Racing Club last season, Boca Juniors are hungry to regain the Superliga Argentina title this season. Currently unbeaten in all 7 of their opening league matches, of which they’ve won 5, they’ve certainly made a good start towards that aim; already top with a 1 point margin for error.

Gustavo Alfaro’s men are playing in a very consistent manner at the moment and look a powerful outfit, leaving confidence high coming into this game. Indeed, Boca have conceded just once in their last 12 competitive matches, showing just how strong they are and having also won 8 of said games, they’ll be confident in getting the job done on Sunday.

Meanwhile, with the threat of relegation on the average points table hanging over them coming into the season, Newell’s have made a decent start to the campaign and look like they’ll be able to keep their heads above water. Bringing back ex-Talleres boss Frank Kudelka to Argentina looks like being a shrewd move from La Lepra and they travel to Buenos Aires stationed in 5th, having taken 13 points from 6 matches.

Nonetheless, most of Newell’s good work is being done in front of their partisan home crowd and there’s little about their away record that can leave confidence high coming into this game. Indeed, the visitors haven’t won any of their last 7 Superliga Argentina away games and that’s not a streak that’s likely to end in a venue as tough to visit as the Bombonera.

Ultimately, this is a match Boca should be winning and they can’t afford to drop points in games like this over the coming months. Man for man, they are a stronger side than Newell’s all over the pitch and on home soil, they have to be fancied to secure victory without major problems.

All things considered, backing Boca to win to nil looks a sensible way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do. They’ve won their last 4 home league matches against the Rosarinos and in excellent defensive shape, a 1-0 margin of home victory could well be on the cards.
