Corinthians v Boca Juniors Betting Tips [28 June 2022]

Boca Juniors have a tough trip away to Corinthians as the Copa Libertadores returns for the Round of 16. It hasn’t been easy for them in the recent domestic matches, and neither will it be a walk in the park here. Corinthians are coming from a 0-0 draw with Santos, a game in which their defensive strength came to the fore once again. They have kept four clean sheets in the last five matches and are unbeaten in five games ahead of this one. The home team has three wins in the last five matches while at home they haven’t tasted defeat in 17 straight games across all competitions. In their last four home matches, Corinthians have kept straight clean sheets and won three of them. In their last five Copa Libertadores matches at home, Corinthians have four wins.

Boca Juniors suffered their second defeat in four matches in their last outing. They haven’t had a strong start to the second phase of the Argentina Liga Profesional, failing to keep a clean sheet in the last four matches. This will haunt them coming into this game, against a side that has been doing well, especially in defence. Boca Juniors have three wins in the last five matches though, and they will want to build on this as much as possible. The biggest concern they will have going into this game, is their away run, more so in the Copa Libertadores. They’ve won just once in the last six away matches in this competition. Boca Juniors have also failed to score in seven of the last 10 matches in Copa Libertadores.

Boca Juniors have a poor away record in the Copa Libertadores; they’ve already lost to Corinthians away from home this season and this game doesn’t come at a good time for them. Corinthians are on a great run at home and have been very solid in their matches, it will be a big shock if they fail to win this one. In Boca Juniors’ away form, we will back the home side to win with a clean sheet.
