Boca Juniors v Newell's Old Boys : Primera División match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 5th Oct, 14:00 BST, Estadio Alberto José Armando, Buenos Aires

Cristian Gastón Fabbiani is aiming for a vital away win in the Primera División on Sunday afternoon, as he takes his Newell's Old Boys side to the Estadio Alberto José Armando to visit Boca Juniors and Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz. All statistics, including 20-game form for both teams and head to head (H2H) records, will update as you browse each of the 17 major markets via the tabs below. Odds and, of course, our predictions will too.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but we're not predicting a goal-fest here. The statistics suggest Boca Juniors and Newells both are poor in attack and defence, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, with no obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals feels like the right bet on this match.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Boca Juniors are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 56% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.50.
