Deportivo Riestra vs Boca Juniors: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Buenos Aires club finished sixth in last year's Primera. However, after qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana, they managed just five points and finished third in the group, failing to reach the playoffs. There were also problems in the cup against San Lorenzo, but they progressed further—after a 1-1 draw, they advanced on penalties. In the Apertura, they scored only eleven points and finished last in their group.
The giant from "La Bombonera" did not compete for titles in the playoffs in 2025. This year, they started with two wins in their first three matches, but results declined noticeably after that. Recovering, they finished the main round of the Apertura with 30 points and second place in their group. However, in the playoffs, the favorite surprisingly lost 2-3 at home to Huracán. In the cup against Sarmiento, they achieved a 2-0 victory. In the Copa Libertadores, seven points were only enough for third place. As a result, moving to the less prestigious Copa Sudamericana, they started with a narrow but important 1-0 win over O'Higgins.
Duro's team averaged just 0.31 goals scored per game, but also conceded only 0.75. The historic favorite scored 1.41 goals on average, conceding half as much—0.71.
