Boca Juniors vs Corinthians – In the second leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals knockout round, Boca Juniors take on Corinthians on Tuesday. In their third encounter of the season, neither club made a breakthrough last week in the competition.

It must be like a daily routine for the six-time Libertadores champions, who are making their fifth appearance in the knockout phase of this event. A 0-0 tie last year against Atletico Mineiro ended in an eventual 3-1 loss on penalties, and they haven’t gone any further than that since.

Argentina lost for the first time in four years, and given their recent history, it’s hard not to believe Xeneizes would have advanced had they won the first leg.

Boca Juniors haven’t lost a competitive match this year when they’re ahead in the standings, but they haven’t scored in their last two games in all competitions.

In Sebastian Battaglia’s system, the fullbacks and midfielders have offered a lot of stability to a system that emphasizes strong build-up play from the back, with enough of strength to cover the space if dispossessed.

They’ve had success with this method before, but their attackers’ recent movement has made it look as though they’ve been wasting their possessions, and Juniors are currently having difficulty finishing in the final third.

It’s unusual for them to lose at La Bombonera, but it has happened in each of their previous two matches there, including their domestic fixture on Saturday, when they were beaten 3-0 by Banfield.

Corinthians have yet to taste defeat this season, and their 4-0 loss to Fluminense last Saturday was their worst of the year. Although it was the first time they had been away from home for more than a month, it was also the first time they had let a goal.

Boca Juniors vs Corinthians – Betting Analysis

Timao have only won one of their past four domestic matches on the road, failing to score more than one goal in any of those matches since a 2-2 tie with Internacional in Porto Alegre back in May.

When it comes to scoring goals, they’ve had a hard time in the past, failing to find the net in both of their last two knockout rounds (2018, 2015), and their last goal in the round of 16 came against Boca Juniors in 2013, but they lost that encounter 2-1 on aggregate.

For the first time since 2012, Time do Povo have advanced beyond this stage of the Copa Libertadores competition. Their strong defense, which has allowed just 14 goals in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A this season, is a direct result of Portuguese manager Vitor Pereira’s man-oriented philosophy.

Corinthians finished second in the group despite a 1-0 lead over Boca Juniors in their final match, drawing 1-1 with Always Ready to miss out on a first-place finish by one point.
