- The Guayaquil-based club have scored just one goal in two home matches in this year’s Copa competition and will need to find some solutions to win this one.

Key Players
-
Barcelona SC
- Milton Aaron Celiz is their most prominent offensive threat, with one goal in his two appearances in the Copa competition, while Tomas Martinez has brought some creativity to the side, laying on one assist so far.
-
Boca Juniors
- Lautaro Blanco has been the provider for Boca this term, laying on three assists in three Copa appearances, while striker Adam Bareiro leads the line with one goal in three.
Betting Insights
- Ubeda has kept his side sharp away from home in recent fixtures, such as a 1-0 win over River Plate and a 4-0 success against Defensa y Justicia in Argentina, and they are a good bet to beat Barcelona SC at 2.14.
- The odds for under 2.5 goals are 1.5 and that seems likely, but both sides have enough quality in attack to get on the scoresheet, so we will take 2.11 for both teams to score - Yes in this tight game.
Prediction
Boca Juniors are the favourites and we’re expecting them to nick this one because they are more consistent, disciplined and sharp in transition, but it is unlikely to be more than one away goal.
