Boca Juniors host Unión Santa Fe in the league, with the home side unbeaten in 5 straight and having just won their latest league game 3-1, while the visitors have lost two in a row. Both need points from this game for different reasons: the hosts want to climb the table, the visitors want to halt their stumble before it drags on. Boca Juniors come in with a stingy defence, especially at home where they concede an average of just 0.6 goals per game and have kept 7 clean sheets in 13 home matches, but their attack is no avalanche either, scoring only 1.2 goals per game at home. Unión Santa Fe, meanwhile, are a team that scores steadily away, averaging 1.4 goals per game, but that comes at the cost of a leaky defence, conceding 1.7 goals per game, and they have never kept a clean sheet in 15 away matches. The game is likely to play out with Boca Juniors as the side pushing forward, because they are at home and need three points, while Unión Santa Fe will probably sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, especially in the second half when they often score from such situations. If the hosts score first the game will open up further, but if the visitors hold out for a long time, it could end up tight.
