Two giants of Argentine soccer clash
Argentinos Juniors and Boca Juniors renew their rivalry on Sunday when the two Buenos Aires clubs clash in the Liga Profesional 2025.
Le Bichos stand second in the Liga Profesional 2025 table with 0 points from 0 matches and Xeneizes sit seventh after playing 0 matches and also having 0 points.
This Argentinos Juniors vs Boca Juniors preview outlines that Argentinos Juniors are in better form than their visitors with four wins in their last five in all competitions, but they have not beaten Boca Juniors on home turf in the last meeting of the two sides.
Argentinos have been in good shape
Nicolas Diez, who took over as head coach of Argentinos Juniors in December 2024, has quickly instilled an attractive, dynamic and organised style of play in his team that is now bearing fruit.
The junior side are a technically good team with young legs that like to control the tempo of the game using short passing sequences and rotation in the centre of the field. Their preferred formation is the 4-3-3, which can morph into a 4-2-3-1 depending on the opposition, and allows them to play a possession-based game, but also to press when they lose it.
Boca Juniors are more pragmatic in their approach, using either a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 to be compact in defence and make fast, physical transitions to penetrate the spaces they create. According to our Argentinos Juniors vs Boca Juniors prediction, Miguel Russo was appointed by Boca Juniors as manager in June 2025 and brings a wealth of experience to a club that needs a steady hand after a difficult period.
Boca’s defensive frailties a factor
Russo is more inclined to be pragmatic and has the experience to steady the ship as he attempts to get the best out of a talented but underperforming squad.
When checking Argentinos Juniors vs Boca Juniors odds, both teams to score jumps out as a good bet as Boca Juniors have been showing defensive frailty and Argentinos are playing with attacking momentum.
Tomas Molina has been their main attacking threat with five goals in their last four matches.
At +160, they are narrowly favoured to win this one by the bookmakers, although Boca Juniors are available at +190 and a draw at +210.
Given the current form of the two clubs, the hosts’ home field advantage and the fact that the visitors have played away to Bayern Munich (2-1 L) and Auckland City (1-1 D) in the past fortnight, there is more of a chance that Argentinos Juniors can secure a narrow victory.
Furthermore, our Argentinos Juniors vs Boca Juniors prediction suggests a close result as Boca Juniors are a well-drilled unit and will not make it easy for the home side, so expect a close match. For more insight, check out our Argentinos Juniors vs Boca Juniors betting tips before the game.
