Boca Juniors v Corinthians Betting Tips [17 May 2022]

Boca Juniors and Corinthians will renew their rivalry when they face off in the fifth round of matches in Group E of the Copa Libertadores. Corinthians lead the group with seven points and Boca Juniors, hosts in this game, have six points, in second place. A 0-0 draw with Racing Club in their last game was Boca Juniors’ fifth straight clean sheet and they’ve only lost once in the last 11 matches. That loss, a 2-0 defeat, was inflicted by Corinthians. Going into this game, only one of Boca Juniors’ last 10 matches has produced over 2.5 goals and they are unbeaten in seven home matches. The Argentines have failed to score in just one of their last five matches and at home in Copa Libertadores, they’ve kept 14 straight clean sheets. They’ve only conceded one goal in the last 15 home matches in Copa Libertadores.

Corinthians battled to a 2-2 draw in their last game, coming from behind twice to draw with Internacional in the Brazilian league. That result marked the first time Corinthians conceded in the last five matches. It was also the second time in five matches for them to score two goals. Corinthians are unbeaten in their last six matches, with four of these being wins. However, it isn’t the same away from home. The team has managed just three wins in their last 10 away matches; they’ve failed to score in two of the last four away games and have two clean sheets only in five matches on the road. It is in the Copa Libertadores that Corinthians will be worried more though; they have no win in the last four away matches in the competition. They have three losses and a draw and haven’t scored a goal in the last four away matches in this competition.

Boca Juniors are on a good run, especially at home. Here they welcome a side that hasn’t done so well away from home. Corinthians have failed to score in four straight away Libertadores matches, losing three. The opponent they face is also on a revenge mission. We will back Boca Juniors to win.
