Boca Juniors vs Sarmiento Betting Tips &— Under 2.5 Goals

Boca Juniors enter Thursday’s LPA match after a 0-0 draw with Platense in their season opener. Similarly, Sarmiento started their season with a goalless draw against Tigre.

In this early stage of the season, it is likely that there will be few goals scored in this contest, and we have insufficient recent form to make reliable predictions. Nonetheless, historical data suggests a home win with a low score is the most probable outcome for this LPA encounter.

Boca has been struggling with their home game performance in recent months, with the renowned Argentine football powerhouse managing only two victories in their last ten home games. Their main problem has been a dearth of goals, resulting in only one out of their last ten home games having more than 2.5 goals scored.

Sarmiento, during their visit, experienced a poor performance in the LPA towards the end of the previous season. Now, with Sergio Rondina in charge, the Verde Verdolaga have only secured a win in one of their last 13 league games (W1, D8, L4). With only 13 goals scored in these games, it’s unlikely that we’ll see a high-scoring match in Buenos Aires on Thursday.

Examining the H2H record, it is evident that Boca has won three out of four previous home games against Sarmiento. Furthermore, all seven matches since 2015 have resulted in fewer than 2.5 goals being scored.

Given both teams’ struggles, the under 2.5 goal pick has to be the most secure selection for this LPA clash. Adding Boca to win can add further value but be prepared for a tight low-scoring affair that could be settled by just one goal.
