Expert Betting Tips
Both teams have met twice which was in the knockout stage of the Copa Libertadores in 2018. Boca Juniors won the first leg with a 2-0 victory while the second leg ended in a 1-1 draw. We saw Boca Juniors take total control of the game in their first-leg encounter which may be because they were playing on their home grounds but they had a great performance in that game. They had several shots inside the box and even hit the woodwork once.
Cruzeiro will have their fans at their support since they are playing on their home ground but we still believe that Boca Juniors will advance to the next round. We can also leverage the cards options as there was a total of 7 cards in their first leg encounter owing to the intense nature of the game, Friday’s game wouldn’t be any different.
