Almagro vs Boca Juniors Prediction: Almagro will face the impossible

In the 1/8 finals of Copa Argentina, Almagro will face Boca Juniors in neutral location in La Rioja. Almagro are team competing in Argentinian Primera National, while Boca Juniors are at the top of Argentinian football. Almagro will do their best to make a miracle in this encounter, but Boca are huge 🐻favorites for advancing to the next round. However, we are expecting a tense and interesting match as this is a knockout phase and everything is possible in football.

Almagro

Form: LWDWL

Almagro are in 16th place in Primera National. They don’t have a really good season and this competition is their main focus at the moment. In the league, theyꦰ have a record of 8 wins, 9 draws and 13 defeats. In the previous round of Co𒀰pa Argentina, they won confidently 4:1 against Excursionistas. It’s much better for them that this match is played in a neutral location, the pressure from the stands is much weaker and it suits them. 

Boca Juniors

Form: LDLDW

Boca Juniors finished way below their standards in 7th place in the le༒ague. In Copa de la Liga Profesional they also have a bad start with 2 defeats and a win. But it’s somehow expected as this team is playing in the Copa Libertadores semi-finals against their great rival from Brazil Palmeiras. However, they a﷽re certainly among the favorites for winning Copa Argentina and in this match against a much weaker opponent, they should secure a place in the next round.

Expert Betting Tips

The quality of these teams is much different, but Alma🦄gro will be very motivated to get a positive result against the Argentinian football giant. Boca Juniors on the other hand certainly already have in mind the semifinal of Copa Libertadores, but their fans are expecting results of this team in every competition and I expect them to show class and to win in this match against objectively weaker opponent.
