Home team has the advantage

Only a half was needed for Boca Juniors to get the away win over Union Santa FE. Although their opponent opened the scoreline, in the second half they managed to make the overturn and get all the points. Abila, Tevez and Almendra were the scorers. Now Boca Juniors have a 10 points difference from the first place, with a 32-16 total goal difference. In their midweek game for the 1st round of Copa Libertadores group stage, they travelled to Bolivia where they played a bore draw with Jorge Wilstermann in Cochabamba. Tonight, Alfaro won't have Goltz, Pavon and the long-time injured Columbian Fabra in his contention. Boca are expected to play 4-4-2 with Abila and Zarate in the offensive line. 

San Lorenzo haven't registered a single win since last October. Undoubtedly their main problem is that they can't score with ease. Seven draws and four defeats is their record in the 11 most recent games. That's a big problem for coach Almiron, as his team sit on the rock bottom of the table (they still have a good place in the relegation table). In the middle of the week, they travelled to Peru to play against Melgar for the opening game of Copa Libertadores group stages. A stalemate was the final outcome for once again. Marcelo Herrera is suspended and won't perform tonight.

Games like this one, have strength, passion, dynamism and goals. Boca Juniors are in a better form, plus they are performing in their home, while San Lorenzo try to get back on their feet. Boca Juniors have quality players thought and I expect more from them. Especially in this game at Bombonera. My call is over 2.5 goals at 2.05.
