However, due to the quality of its staff, both sectors can perform more. In its stadium, Boca Juniors accumulates 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, comes from 3 games of invincibility and has not yet achieved the best form in this type of situation, having played several games with alternative teams, something that must be repeated in the next round.

The Board is making a disastrous campaign in the Superliga, going through a terrible phase, with only 1 win in the last 5 games, and is looking for a recovery to try to get out of the last positions. The team has a reasonable attack, which scored 13 goals and is the sixth best of the competition, being that the big problem is the huge defensive deficiency, since it suffered 22 goals, being the weakest defense of the national championship, so much that it suffered goals in 10 of the last 11 games and only in the last 2 rounds he suffered 5 goals. These numbers help explain performance well below expectations. As a visitor, the Board has the second worst use of the championship and suffered 8 goals in the last 3 games, being a team that leaves many spaces in its defense, takes time to recompose and allows many completions.
