The match

Brazil and Argentina see their rivalry rekindled when Corinthians host Boca Juniors at the Neo Quimica Arena for matchday three of the Copa Libertadores group stages. The visiting Boca come into the match riding a five match unbeaten and are coming off a 2-1 away victory against Central Cordoba in their last match. They come up against a Corinthians team that has had a mixed start to the new season. Timão started strong, winning their first two matches in the Brasileiro Serie A, before suffering a heavy 3-0 away defeat to Copa Libertadores champions Palmeiras in their last match. This is a big matchday in Group E with all four teams even on three points; Corinthians find themselves bottom while Boca sit second due to goal differential and goals scored. 

The hosts dropped the first game of the Libertadores campaign away to Always Ready before bouncing back with an important 1-0 home victory against Colombian side Depor Cali. Boca Juniors followed the same trend, winning their second match against Bolivians Always Ready to set the stage for this one. Boca have struggled in their recent trips to Brazil in this competition and could face a similar outcome here. Xeneizes were knocked out each of the last two years by Brazilian opposition: falling to Santos 3-0 at the Estádio Urbano Caldeira in the semi-finals of the 2020 edition and then going out in the round of 16 on penalties to Atletico Mineiro, although they were able to make it through the 90 minutes with a 0-0 score. The importance of this match sets up a good situational spot to bet on a tight match that does not see a lot of scoring.

Key Statistics

  • Boca Juniors have seen both teams scoring in only one of their last five away matches.
  • Corinthians have seen both teams scoring in two of their last five and only once in their last five home matches.
  • Boca are 4-2-0 away from home in the league and have kept three clean sheets from their six matches.
  • Corinthians are a perfect 2-0 at home in their young season, scoring five goals and having yet to concede.

The bet of our experts

We’re going with both teams not to score as our selection for this match. With the under 2.5 goals price being fairly steep, this is a way to get in on backing a low scoring match at a more reasonable price. Matches between clubs from these two countries are often hotly contested affairs that sometimes can turn quite contentious. Emotions are sure to be high here in such an important match and the significance of the three points here should result in a match with big chances at a premium.
