Boca – Estudiantes
Boca Juniors salvaged a point in a turbulent period on Sunday afternoon, drawing 2-2 away to Newell’s Old Boys thanks to an 80th-minute equaliser from Alan Velasco. It was Boca’s first point from two Torneo Clausura matches, and El Xeneize remain outside the Copa Libertadores qualification places in the overall standings, while also extending their winless league run to three matches (one draw and two defeats). Boca lost their last home league match, 3-2 to Huracán in the round of 16 of the Torneo Apertura, after recording three wins and five draws at La Bombonera in domestic competitions in 2026. This Wednesday, Boca will host Estudiantes at Huracán’s stadium, as work is being carried out on their own playing surface. Estudiantes de La Plata returned to winning ways on Saturday afternoon with a 3-0 home victory over Defensa y Justicia, thanks to an outstanding first-half performance that ultimately decided the match. El Pincha picked up their first three points from two Torneo Clausura matches and ended a brief run of two consecutive league defeats, staying three points behind the Copa Libertadores qualification places in the overall standings. On the road, Estudiantes have won seven of their last 11 league matches, drawing three and losing just one. Leandro González Pirez continues to recover from his muscle injury and will not be available on Wednesday. Coach Alexander Medina would repeat the XI. Boca showed their two faces last weekend, playing good offensive football but making defensive mistakes that cost them the win. Estudiantes will be able to take advantage of this mistakes as shown in their easy win last weekend, so I expect an open game here and I will take the OVER.
