During that encounter they had 34% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 10 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 13 games in a row.
Luca Langoni will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Boca Juniors.

They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Atlético Tucumán's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Manager Julio Vaccari will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home. They are proving tough to beat with their recent run of 4 clean sheets.

It's been a long time since El Halcón de Varela have managed to find the back of the net against Boca, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters.

Boca manager Hugo Ibarra has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Nicolás Orsini (Muscle), Marcos Rojo (Cruciate ligament), Bruno Valdez (Muscle) and Luis Vázquez (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Defensa manager Julio Vaccari ahead of this clash, with Gastón Togni (Muscle) missing out, which gives Vaccari a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
