Deportivo Recoleta vs Boca JuniorsPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The second leg of this Sudamericana tie follows the 3-1 win Boca Juniors took in the first meeting on 11 August, seven days before this game. Deportivo Recoleta topped their group with 8 points from six rounds, one win and five draws without a defeat, six goals scored and five conceded: three draws at home with two goals for and two against, a win and two draws away with four scored and three conceded. How the Paraguayan side have been playing Recoleta's last five outings have been busy ones: a 1-2 home defeat by 2 de Mayo, 1-3 away to Boca, 3-1 at Rubio Nu, 3-2 against Nacional Asuncion and 1-4 at Libertad, twenty-one goals across five matches. That is a very different rhythm from their continental group, which they finished with six goals in six games. Where Boca stand right now Boca Juniors arrive on the back of that 3-1 against Recoleta, preceded by a 1-1 with Velez Sarsfield, a 1-0 over Estudiantes La Plata, a 2-2 at Newells Old Boys and a 0-1 defeat at O'Higgins: three draws and one loss in the four games before the first leg. The competition is averaging 2.30 goals a game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
