Boca Juniors vs Velez Sarsfield Prediction and Betting Tips | June 15th 2024

Velez Sarsfield return to action in the Argentine Primera Division when they go head-to-head with Boca Juniors on Friday. Gustavo Quinteros’ men have failed to win their last 12 visits to La Bombonera since November 2008 and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.

Boca Juniors continue to struggle for results on the road as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Platense at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López.

The Xeneizes have now lost four of their last six away matches across all competitions since late April, including a penalty shootout defeat against Estudiantes in the Copa de la Liga playoff semi-finals on May 1.

However, Boca Juniors return home where they are unbeaten in their last 12 matches since the turn of the year, claiming eight wins and four draws so far.

Velez Sarsfield, on the other hand, booked their spot in the Copa Argentina round of 16 last time out courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Arsenal de Sarandí last time out.

Quinteros’ men now return to action in the Primera Division, where they have won just one of their four matches this season while losing once and claiming two draws.

With five points from a possible 12 matches, Velez are currently 17th in the league standings, one point and three places above Friday’s hosts.
