Racing Club vs. Boca Juniors Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Racing Club and Boca Juniors, taking place on Sunday, 15 September 2024, at The Estadio Presidente Perón in Buenos Aires.
Racing Club, Recent Form
The Racing Club players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Atletico Tucuman recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Atletico Tucuman, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Gustavo Costas will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games; however, they have recorded 7 clean sheets from the 13 games played so far this season.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at The Estadio Presidente Perón, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Boca Juniors, Recent Form
Boca Juniors will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Rosario Central. They came away from that fixture with a 48% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Rosario Central, who managed 23 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Diego Martínez will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Having drawn their last 4 league games away from home and having not won any of their last 5, Xeneizes will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
On an individual basis, Miguel Merentiel will be looking to cause Racing Club some problems having scored 3 goals in Boca Juniors' last 6 away games in the league.
