Boca Juniors comes to this game after a draw for the Copa Libertadores, but a victory in the last round of the league. It was an important victory, after the dismissal of coach Hugo Ibarra and all the changes that this entailed. The team reacted well to the defeat of round 8 and managed to score the 3 winning goals in the 1st half, then control the result of the 2nd half. These 3 points are very important, given the difficult situation that the team is going through, even being positioned only in 11th place. On matchday 8, the team suffered the first home defeat in the championship. It will be important to understand how the team will be able to react to that and if they will achieve a new victory this time in front of their fans.

It is true that the team has not yet added any victory in the championship and is in last place, however, it has not lost for 6 consecutive rounds, always adding draws. This series of results shows how difficult this Colon team is to beat.
