Sunday 25th June 2017 – Kickoff: 1615hrs
Football – Argentina – Primera Division Betting Tips
Boca Juniors have a great chance of extending their lead at the top of the Argentinian Primera Division when they play host to bottom half outfit, Union Santa Fe, when the two teams meet at the Estadio Alberto José Armando on Sunday afternoon.
The home side hold a five point lead at the top of the division ahead of second placed River Plate who face a tricky trip to Colon also this Sunday, so the door could open up for Boca Juniors to take a commanding lead after today’s action.
Boca have suffered just one reverse from their last 13 matches overall, which was a 3-1 defeat at home to the aforementioned River Plate, but overall they’ve been pretty solid on home turf which is reflected in their record of 10-2-2 33/11. Look out for prolific striker Benedetto (19 goals) from 24 matches to date.
Visitors Union Santa Fe face a mountain to climb in their last game of the season as they make their way to Buenos Aires, having registered just one win from their last 11 matches overall in the Primera Division, which has left them in the bottom half of the league table.
That win was a 2-1 victory over Newells Old Boys at home, while on the road their results have quite simply been appalling as they’ve now gone 13 matches without a win on their travels. An away record of 1-5-8 10/22 tells its own story, as they’ve struggled to pick up points away from home this season.
They now face a Boca Juniors side who have lost on just three occasions all season, and with home advantage behind them, I fancy the hosts to take all three points in style.
