The match at “La Bombonera” between Boca Juniors and Barcelona de Guayaquil in the Copa Libertadores promises to be a closely contested affair, as both teams are aiming to be key contenders in the group. Boca’s main problem this year has been failing to use their home stadium as a place to secure wins; while they remain undefeated at home this season, they have drawn more games than they have won (5 draws and 3 wins).
Barcelona can take advantage of this and secure at least a draw at this legendary stadium, as it would help them put their loss to Cruzeiro in the first match behind them and keep them from being so exposed in last place in the group. This leads us to predict a draw in this match, especially since, when they last faced off in 2021, the game ended in a scoreless draw in that year’s edition of the Copa Libertadores.

Our Boca Juniors vs Barcelona SC Prediction
What used to be a strong home advantage for Boca in previous years no longer seems to be the case, as 5 of the 8 teams that have visited their stadium this year have come away with a point. In the Copa Libertadores, this cannot happen to the “Xeneize,” who are coming off an away win against U. Católica after putting in a solid performance across all lines.
Barcelona’s opening loss to Cruzeiro means that on their trip to Argentina, they need to pick up points to avoid being relegated to last place. The last time they visited this country was earlier this year, and they impressed with their performance, defeating Argentinos Juniors in the second round of the Copa Libertadores.
Our prediction for Boca Juniors vs. Barcelona de Guayaquil is: A draw!
