Boca Juniors Win or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals

There is a 60% chance for a Boca Juniors win as they won six of their last ten home games. As for the goals market, the stats show a 68% chance to see over 1.5 goals since Banfield’s seven of their last ten away games and Boca’s eight of their last ten home fixtures saw over 1.5 goals.

Both Teams to Score No

Five of Boca Juniors’ last ten home matches saw goals from one team. Similarly, Banfield’s seven of their last ten away fixtures also saw goals at one end.

Banfield +0.5/+1 Goal Handicap

The last three meetings between Boca Juniors and Banfield saw two draws and a Boca win by 1-0. In addition, in the last four fixtures, Banfield won one and drew three times and covered the suggested handicaps in all of these matches.

Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Boca Juniors vs Banfield

A surprise defeat in the last round at home to Union Santa Fe by 1-2, saw Boca Juniors drop down the table to the fourth position. However, the Blue and Gold were in complete control of the game with 71% possession but managed to score just once from their four shots on target.

Surely, coach Sebastian Battaglia will have his lesson learned as his team suffered from sending too many players forward. To explain, the score was 1-1 as Izquierdoz was sent off for Boca and 15 minutes of injury time, in the end, was not enough for Battaglia’s men to salvage a point. Instead, the home fans were devastated as Union scored with the last kick of the match.

Banfield meanwhile are on a fine streak going undefeated in their last four league games. To point out, The Drills lost the opening match of the Liga Profesional against leaders Newells. But in their next four fixtures, boss Diego Dabove’s men picked up eight points from two wins and two draws.

In the Copa de la Profesional earlier this season, Banfield finished eighth with five wins and four draws. It’s their away record that should worry coach Dabove however as they won just one of their last seven trips with a scoring average of 0.89 goals per match.

Boca Juniors to bounce back quickly

It was Boca’s first defeat at La Bombonera in 13 fixtures and their second in five Liga Profesional games. For this match, we will back a double chance of a home win or draw combined with over 1.5 goals.

Safe Bet

In the first half of Boca Juniors’ four of the five matches in the league, there were over 0.5 goals scored. At Vbet, the odds for over 0.5 goals in the first half is 1.52 and we will back it as our quick profit option.
