Belgrano’s
performance as a newly promoted team this season has been quite impressive. In
their recent league match, they managed to secure a 0-0 draw against Talleres
in an away game. Throughout the second stage of the league, Belgrano have shown
consistency, maintaining an unbeaten record with two wins and five draws. While
their winning rate may not be high, their ability to avoid defeat is
commendable, highlighting their resilience. Furthermore, Belgrano have
displayed strong performances at home. In the last 10 league home games, they
have achieved five wins, three draws, and two losses. This indicates that their
home form is quite impressive and should not be underestimated.
In the
second round of semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores, Boca Juniors secured a
1-1 draw in an away game against Palmeiras. They then advanced to the final by
defeating Palmeiras 4-2 in a penalty shootout. This successful progression to
the Copa Libertadores final is a significant achievement for them. While Boca
Juniors have had a relatively mediocre performance in the league this season,
their cup performances have been noteworthy. Their focus seems to be shifting
more towards the cup competitions. Currently, Boca Juniors have not only
reached the Copa Libertadores final but has also made it to the semi-finals of
the Argentine Cup. This indicates that their primary emphasis and priority lie
in the cup competitions.
Despite
Belgrano not possessing the same level of strength and reputation as Boca
Juniors, they may have an advantage in terms of physical fitness due to Boca
Juniors’ busy schedule with double-match a week. Additionally, Boca Juniors’
recent away performances have been less than stellar, having only secured one
win, four draws, and two losses in their last seven away games. As a result,
there is reason to be optimistic that Belgrano, known for their stability at
home, can potentially earn points against Boca Juniors.
