Throughout the history of the Copa Libertadores, Cruzeiro and Boca Juniors have played memorable, high-stakes matches. Games on Brazilian soil are typically extremely close, but in each of their last three meetings, both teams scored, and given their current form, this could happen again.

Boca is currently in excellent form, sitting in first place in the group with a perfect record, a position that Cruzeiro, trailing by three points, will look to take over. Additionally, the Brazilians must bounce back from their unexpected home loss to Universidad Católica in this tournament, their only home defeat in their last 10 matches at Mineirão. Will the goalkeepers be able to stop the opposition’s advances, or, as has become customary, will both teams find the back of the net?

Our Cruzeiro vs Boca Juniors Prediction

The “Xeneize” have a lead to defend on their trip to Brazil, which is sure to be no easy task given what it means to play at the Mineirão, where they were eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana in 2024. One almost certain thing is that they’ll score, as they’ve found the net there all three times they’ve played.

The home team sits in 11th place in the Brasileirao, and in the Libertadores, their home loss to Universidad Católica put them in a tough spot, as they were unable to build on their away win against Barcelona de Guayaquil. Still, they have lost only once in their last 10 home games.

The prediction for Cruzeiro vs. Boca Juniors is: both teams to score.
