Region: Argentina
Category: National League
Match: Comunicaciones (Mercedes) vs. Boca Juniors
Start time: 01:00 CET - 21:00 ART (-3 GMT)
Tip: Boca Juniors to win with an Asian handicap of -7.5 points
The hosts must already be focused on the playoffs to avoid relegation.
- Comunicaciones are in the 20th (last) place, with a record of 9 wins and 28 losses.
- They accumulate 13 consecutive defeats (4 of them at home).
- Now, they come from losing by 15 points against the second-to-last team (Argentino).
- Next Tuesday (28th) they will begin playing a 5-game series against Argentino, to see who keeps the category. For fear of possible injuries, they should not give too much attention to tomorrow's game.
- Boca Juniors are 4th with a record of 23 wins and 14 losses. Although the 4th place has already been secured, which guarantees direct access to the quarterfinals, I see no reason why they should not play seriously tomorrow.
- They won 6 of their last 8 games, which were directed by Gonzalo Pérez. Although he has been a member of technical teams for years, he did not have previous experience being in charge.
- They come from beating playing very well and by 8 points yesterday against San Martín, which are the 5th best team in the general standings and at home.
