Boca Juniors vs Alianza Lima Prediction and Betting Tips | February 25, 2025

Boca Juniors entertain Alianza Lima at the Estadio Alberto José Armando in the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday.

Boca were humbled 1-0 in the first leg at the Estadio Alejandro Villanueva in Lima. Uruguayan midfielder Pablo Ceppelini opened the scoring for Alianza in the fourth minute. Efforts to improve their lead were thwarted by Boca’s steadfast defence.

Xeneize opened their Argentine Primera División season with a goalless home draw with Argentinos Juniors. They have played seven league matches, winning four and losing one. Boca are third in the standings, tied on 14 points with second-placed Argentinos Juniors – both trailing the leaders by one point.

Alianza, meanwhile, were hoping for more goals to improve their chances in the second leg but failed to breach Boca’s defence. Deploying the same attacking mode in the return leg would be risky, as it would leave holes behind for the opponents to exploit.

Los Blanquiazules had a dream start to their Liga 1 (Peruvian top-flight) season, crushing Cusco 3-0 at home. The visitors have played three league matches, winning two and losing one. They are fifth, tied on six points with two other teams. Alianza trail leaders, Melgar, by two points.
