Boca Juniors, Recent FormIn their last match Boca Juniors enforced their superiority over Barracas Central with a 3-0 away win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Barracas Central, who had 5 shots on goal with 1 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped.
Boca will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Colón, Recent FormColón will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Atlético Tucumán last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Atlético Tucumán, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Néstor Gorosito will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Unbeaten in 6 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 6 games, the Sabaleros fans will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win again.
Ramón Ábila will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Boca Juniors in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Colón.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 1-2 win for Boca Juniors.
The Sabaleros defence has struggled at The Estadio Alberto J. Armando, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 visits. In their past 5 meetings, Xeneizes' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Colón will have to take their chances when they come.
It's been a long time since Colón has enjoyed a trip to The Estadio Alberto J. Armando in the league, with Boca having won each of their last 8 meetings there and not lost to the visitors in 12 games.
Boca manager Hugo Ibarra has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Nicolás Orsini (Muscle), Marcos Rojo (Cruciate ligament) and Ezequiel Zeballos (Meniscus) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Colón manager Néstor Gorosito ahead of this clash, with Facundo Farías (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Gorosito a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
