Boca Juniors, Recent FormBoca Juniors head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 3-1 away win against Gimnasia y Esgrima in their last league encounter. They came away from that fixture with 63% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Gimnasia y Esgrima managed 19 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 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. When playing at home this season, they've notched up 7 clean sheets.
They have been performing well at The Estadio Alberto J. Armando recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Miguel Merentiel will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Boca Juniors.
Newell´s Old Boys, Recent FormNewell´s Old Boys were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against Atlético Tucumán. In that game they had 71% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Atlético Tucumán who had 11 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 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. This season they have failed to score in 6 of their 13 away games; however, of the 25 games they have played overall, they've kept 12 clean sheets.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Cristian Ferreira will be hoping to create problems for Boca Juniors in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Newell´s Old Boys.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Newell´s Old Boys that came out on top with a 2-0 win.
In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Boca have failed to score a single goal against Leprosos. Playing away from home, Newell´s Old Boys have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Boca.

Boca manager Jorge Almirón has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Luca Langoni (Muscle), Javier Morales (Hamstring) and Marcos Rojo (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Fabián Ángel (Knee) and Francisco González (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gabriel Heinze will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
