Boca Juniors
- Boca Juniors and Gimnasia Mendoza have both made disappointing starts to the season with the Xeneizes sitting 15th in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 table with 8 points from 6 matches and the visitors in 24th with 6 points from the same number of matches.
- Gimnasia Mendoza have suffered consecutive defeats away from home, while Boca Juniors have drawn their last three games, including consecutive goalless home draws.
Gimnasia Mendoza
Gimnasia Mendoza have struggled on the road in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 ( W1, L2, 2 goals in 3 games ).
Key Players
- Boca Juniors
- Leandro Paredes is the main man in midfield, dictating play and already has two assists in five league games, but Exequiel Zeballos has been Boca’s main goal threat, netting once in three league games so far, and can provide a spark in the final third on Saturday.
- Gimnasia Mendoza
- Agustin Modica is the Mendoza side's top scorer, having scored one goal in four league appearances, and is usually their biggest threat up front.
Betting Insights
- Boca Juniors are the clear favorites for Saturday’s matchup at odds of 1.46, with Gimnasia Mendoza available at 7.8.
- Boca Juniors are undefeated at home in the league (W2, D2) and have conceded zero goals in four attempts, but are also averaging just 0.75 goals per game themselves, so under 2.5 goals at 1.62 looks a strong option in the goal markets.
Prediction
This matchup will see Boca’s possession-based style take on Gimnasia Mendoza’s low block, and while the visitors have some quality in their squad, we’re taking the hosts to come out on top as they usually do.
