They picked up just 11 points from 16 rounds and ended their Apertura campaign with no chance of achieving anything. As for Boca Juniors, the team performed very well, collecting 30 points from 16 rounds in the regular season and reaching the playoffs in second place. However, Boca were eliminated in the round of 16.
In last year's Clausura campaign, Deportivo Riestra reached the playoffs after finishing third in their group. However, the team were eliminated in the round of 16. Boca Juniors, meanwhile, won their Clausura 2025 group and reached the semi-finals, where they lost 0-1 to Racing.

Both teams will certainly want to start the new Clausura campaign with a victory, and I think Boca Juniors can get the job done. I recommend betting on a Boca Juniors win.
