Boca Juniors are bringing in a hotter goalie compared to Huracán. Agustín Marchesín's 7.05 rating squares off against Sebastián Meza's measly 5.85. He'll be backed up by top-tier players like Lautaro Di Lollo and Marco Pellegrino who seem to have a knack for keeping the ball, with both having over 88% accuracy in their passes. Goal scoring, however, is something Boca's lineup might need to work on. If they could keep the ball and find the back of the net, things are going to look bright.
Huracán, on the other hand, has Fabio Pereyra and Matko Miljevic leading the pack. Although there isn’t something specifically exciting about their stats, seemingly having no player with a significant edge, their record holds a different story. They've beaten Boca Juniors before.
Historically batting with Boca Juniors, it's always been either a draw or a win for the Juniors. But if you're thinking that gives Boca Juniors the edge, remember, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Looking at the regular season records, Boca Juniors are the slight favorites, having snagged a few more wins than their opponent. Recently though, both teams seem to be in a rut, with Boca Juniors racking up draws and Huracán tasting a bit of defeat.
Time to call it. Buckle up, 'cos I've got a hunch that things are going to take an exciting twist. Drumroll, please...
