There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Club Atletico Platense's last 10 games (Liga Profesional). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Boca Juniors's last 7 home games (Liga Profesional). Club Atletico Platense are undefeated in 14 of their last 15 matches (Liga Profesional).
Agustin Rossi will maintain his place despite public battles with Boca over his contract. Hugo Ibarra may be forced to make some bold selection choices to find a winning solution. Ramiro Gonzalez will maintain his place in defence after the unique circumstances that saw him join the club.
Boca Juniors were dreadful last time out in their 3-0 defeat to Patronato and just two wins in their last nine in all competitions is simply not good enough for a side of their stature. Six goals conceded in Boca's last three matches says it all about their woeful current performances. They need an upturn soon with no continental action left to focus on. Platense have been plagued by too many draws. Six out of 11 games is too many to maintain a top 10 place in the division. That being said, Platense are still outperforming expectation and sharing goals around the team has been a big factor in that. 2:2
