Boca Juniors vs Independiente Medellin Match Preview

Boca Juniors celebrated the 69th league title in Argentina on Saturday night winning over Chimnasia La Plata 1-0, while, at the same River Plate lost 2 valuable points. In just a few games the new Boca Juniors' manager Miguel Ángel Russo changed the momentum of the team and the positive results followed.

The motivation is high for Boca Juniors, and now they are called to face Independiente Medellin at Bombonera for the second match of the Copa Libertadores group stage. In their first match, they played a 1-1 draw in Venezuela against Caracas. The injured Lisandro López is unavailable. Carlos Izquierdoz, on the contrary, returned to the team 100% fit. 

Independente Medellin will try to make things difficult for Boca Juniors in Bombonera, but this seems a hell of a task at this moment. They are coming from a 1-0 win over Bogota in their domestic league, and they should continue like this in order to climb a few spots in the standings.

In their opening match of Copa Libertadores' group stage, they failed to get a positive result against Libertad Asunción, they lost 1-2 on the road. No missings are reported for the team, and so they are 100% ready to try for the best possible result in Argentina. 

Boca Juniors won the Argentinian Super Liga and now they will focus on the Copa Libertadores competition. Their psychology and motivation are at a peak and their fans are expected to continue their celebration at the stadium. It will be difficult for Independente Medellin to hold the momentum of Carlos Tevez's and the rest of Boca's attack. Over 2,5 goals to be scored is my call.
