Team Analysis
Boca Juniors, a powerhouse in South American football, has had a mixed season. In the Argentine Primera División, they are in a decent position with 10 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses from 16 matches, sitting third in the table. However, their recent form has been lackluster, winless in their last 4 games. Their home record has been strong though, with 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 home league matches.
Benfica, on the other hand, is a force to be reckoned with in European football. In the Primeira Liga, they are performing well, and in the UEFA Champions League, they have shown their quality. Their attacking line is potent, scoring goals consistently, and their defense has been relatively solid. In their last 6 games, they have 3 wins and 3 draws, maintaining good form.
Lineup Analysis
For Boca Juniors, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi will likely start. In defense, the likes of Nicolás Figal and Marcos Rojo will look to keep Benfica's attackers at bay. In midfield, players such as Exequiel Zeballos will be crucial in controlling the game. Up front, with Edinson Cavani potentially out, Miguel Merentiel will be the main goal - scoring threat.
Benfica will probably field Odysseas Vlachodimos in goal. Their defense will feature players like António Silva and João Cancelo. In midfield, Enzo Fernández will be key in dictating the play. Up front, the attacking trio of Rafa Silva, Darwin Núñez, and Gonçalo Ramos will look to find the back of the net.
Nowgoal Prediction
Given Benfica's better recent form and more potent attacking options, they are the favorites in this match. They should be able to create more scoring opportunities and put pressure on Boca Juniors' defense. However, Boca Juniors' home - like atmosphere in a neutral venue and their experienced players could make it a tough battle.
Prediction: Benfica win 2 - 1.
