Boca Juniors — Central Cordoba : Match Preview and Prediction for September 22,2025

Boca Juniors’ Current Form

Boca Juniors enters this match in excellent spirits and form. The team has successfully moved past its historical record of 12 consecutive winless games and is now demonstrating strong momentum. In their last five championship fixtures, the “blue and gold” remain undefeated, having secured three clean-sheet victories in a row.

The Fortress of La Bombonera

The home ground advantage plays a pivotal role here. ‘La Bombonera’ is a true stronghold for Miguel Angel Russo’s squad. The statistics are compelling: Boca has yet to concede a home defeat in the current tournament. Broadening the scope, over 11 home matches in the Primera Division, they boast an unbeaten record, having let in a mere 4 goals.

Midfield Solidity and Attacking Adjustments

The midfield appears exceptionally solid, largely attributed to the effective partnership of Rodrigo Battaglia and Leandro Paredes, who many consider a key catalyst in the team’s improved performance. Despite the injury to Edinson Cavani, Milton Giménez will step into his attacking role, ensuring the offensive structure remains robust. An important boost will also be the return of experienced goalkeeper Agustin Marchesín after his recovery.

Central Cordoba’s Recent Performance

In stark contrast, Central Cordoba approaches this match amid a clear decline in form. Omar De Felippe’s team has suffered two consecutive 2-0 defeats. They first lost to Vélez Sarsfield in the Argentine Supercup final, followed by a league defeat to Deportivo Riestra, notably failing to score in both encounters.

Away Game Struggles

Their away performance is particularly concerning. In their last away fixture against Riestra, Central Cordoba maintained 68% ball possession but failed to register a single shot on target. This highlights significant issues in generating and converting attacking opportunities. Their overall away record this season is equally unconvincing: in the Apertura, the team has lost 5 of their 7 away matches, conceding 14 goals.

Historical Head-to-Head and Venue Challenge

Historically, ‘La Bombonera’ has proven to be a formidable and challenging venue for ‘El Ferroviario’ (Central Cordoba). Their sole victory at this stadium dates back to a distant 1967. Since then, their fortunes have completely reversed at this ground. The statistics from recent head-to-head encounters heavily favor Boca Juniors.
