On April 7, 2025, the 12th round of the Argentine Primera will take place at the Bombonera Stadium in Buenos Aires, featuring a clash between Boca Juniors and Barracas Central. I suggest placing a bet on one of the teams.
Preview
Boca Juniors confidently hold the second position in Group A, trailing the leading Tigre by just one point. In the last round, the team ended their five-match unbeaten run, losing 0-2 away to Newell's Old Boys.
Boca's home performances deserve special attention: at the Bombonera this season, the team remains undefeated with five wins and two draws in seven matches across all competitions. When considering only Apertura matches, Boca boasts the best record for points earned at home, conceding just two goals in six games.
Barracas managed to break their unfortunate three-match winless streak in the previous round, securing a home victory over Estudiantes with a 2-1 scoreline. This success lifted the club to seventh place in Group A, reducing the gap to second-placed Boca Juniors to six points.
Regarding away matches, Barracas have yet to taste defeat on the road this season. However, the team often settles for draws rather than maximum results. In five away games, Barracas achieved just one win, drawing four times.
Probable lineups
- Boca Juniors: Marchesin, Blondel, Di Lollo, Rojo, Blanco, Belmonte, Delgado, Zenon, Velasco, Cavani, Jimenez
- Barracas Central: Ledesma, Mater, Zappett, Tobio, Rak, Insua, Tapia, Miloc, Duarte, Candia, Bruero
Match facts and H2H
- Barracas Central failed to score in only one of their last 5 away league matches.
- In the Primera, Boca Juniors have a streak of 5 consecutive home victories.
- In the last 5 head-to-head encounters, Boca Juniors have 4 wins, with one match ending in a draw.
Prediction
Following their recent defeat, Boca Juniors need to redeem themselves in front of their fans, and the match at their home Bombonera provides an excellent opportunity for this. Boca's home form inspires confidence, and their motivation level after the setback in the last round will undoubtedly be at its peak. Bet on a home win.
