Today Soccer Prediction 10th July 2023

Although they avoided a fifth straight-away defeat in the league, last time out Boca Juniors were restricted to a goalless draw by Union Santa Fe, which leaves them marooned in mid-table and some 21 points adrift of arch-rivals River Plate, who top the table.

Boca has been a pale shadow of their former selves so far this season, less than a year on from winning a 35th top-flight title, and they have posted only nine Primera Division wins so far this term; losing on as many occasions.

Nonetheless, the Xeneize recently sealed the top spot in Copa Libertadores Group F by beating Monagas 4-0, and they can look forward to meeting Nacional in the last 16 at the start of next month.

Before returning to their pursuit of a seventh continental crown – and a first since 2007 – Jorge Almiron’s men must tackle their capital-city counterparts Huracan on the day River could be confirmed as champions.

Although they certainly improved in their new coach’s first game in charge, Huracan still failed to score last time out and do not pack a punch in the final third.

As several Boca stars could be back on the bench following injury, the hosts’ greater firepower will therefore swing the result in their favour.
