Boca Juniors will be traveling to Barracas Central, hoping to continue the good start they made to the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division standings. These two sides have made contrasting starts to the new season, as they are battling for places on the opposite ends of the table. The visitors are sitting fourth with two wins from three, while the hosts are placed way below at 24th and are yet to win their first game of the second phase. Hence, the upcoming game will be crucial for both teams for various reasons.
In the standings, Boca Juniors are placed fourth, with six points from three games. They won two and lost one. Having started with a 1-0 win over Arsenal Sarandi, they were stunned in the second match away to Cordoba before winning a goal-fest against Tigre 5-3. Boca Juniors are just a point behind the top three sides, hence a victory in the upcoming match can help them jump to the top of the table temporarily.
On the other hand, Barracas Central will be keen to register their first win of the season when they host Boca Juniors. The home side has drawn two and lost one in the three games they have played till now. After drawing the opening two games to Cordoba and Tigre, they lost their last game 2-1 to Union. With just two points from three games, they are sitting at a lowly 24th position. Hence, they will be eager to get their first win of the second phase when they host Boca Juniors.
