The Cilindro de Avellaneda hosts a Superclásico-adjacent derby with Racing in freefall and Boca riding a wave of confidence. Racing have lost three of their last five across all competitions, conceding six goals and looking vulnerable every time the press comes at them.
Boca's last five show 3 wins, 2 draws, zero defeats, with 10 goals scored. Crucially, the head-to-head tells a damning story for the home side: Racing have won 3 of the last 4 clashes, yes, but Boca conceded only 1 goal across those four meetings while keeping the tie tight. Boca also carry the weight of two injured bodies in Marchesin and Bareiro, yet their squad depth has absorbed that. Racing miss Carboni and Forneris in a team already lacking spark.
Boca at 2.4 is the pick. The market underweights a side that has not lost in five, while Racing's form is genuinely alarming. Take Boca to win.
