Boca Juniors will look to make the most of their home comforts when they host Sao Paulo in the 2026 Copa Sudamericana quarter-finals. This first-leg match between the 21st-seeded ‘Blue and Gold’ and the 5th-seeded ‘Tricolour’ at Estadio Alberto J. Armando in Buenos Aires on Tuesday could be a tight affair with BTTS our match prediction.
The winner of this two-legged tie will play either Santa Fe or Vasco da Gama in the semis. Boca finished third in Group D of the Copa Libertadores to be transferred to this competition. They defeated O’Higgins on penalties and Recoleta (7-1 on aggregate) to reach this stage. Sao Paulo topped their group in this competition and defeated Bolivar 4-2 in the round of 16.
Boca drew 2-2 away at Gimnasia Mendoza last weekend to make it three draws in their last four games (W1) within 90 minutes. Playing at home could likely be a different proposition, as they have five wins from their last six home matches (D1), including two in this competition.
Sao Paulo won 2-0 at the weekend in the Brazilian league for a third win in their last four matches (L1). Four draws in their last six matches in this competition (W2) could be a ray of hope for the hosts, to go with six losses in their last eight away games (D2).

Our Boca Juniors vs SAO Paulo Prediction
Boca Juniors may have finished third in their Copa Libertadores group and dropped down to this competition but have managed to show their best here. Three wins out of four knockout games, including two at home, make them a threat. Sao Paulo topped their group in the league stages, but recent form hasn’t been comforting on the road.
Three of the last four matches between these sides saw both teams score, and although those matches were played back in 2006, that could repeat here. Our Boca Juniors vs SAO Paulo prediction is BTTS.
