O'Higgins vs Boca Juniors: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Rancagua finished third in the national Primera. Currently, they are stuck in mid-table, frequently losing games. For example, they just lost 0-2 to Concepción. However, in the Copa Sudamericana, the Chileans collected ten points—only São Paulo had more in their group.
The Buenos Aires giant finished second domestically in 2025. In the Apertura, they were also second in their zone, but were eliminated from the playoffs by Huracán. At least they are still progressing in the cup. However, they started the Clausura with a heavy 0-3 defeat to Deportivo Riestra. Their performance in the Copa Libertadores was disappointing, as they trailed both Universidad Católica and Cruzeiro with just seven points.
In Argentina, the home side scored before halftime, but couldn't build on their advantage, settling for a minimal 1-0 win.
