REF’s picks

Instituto sit proudly at the top of the table and bring formidable home form into this clash, making the draw no bet price on them an appealing option. Boca Juniors possess immense pedigree and are tough to beat, but key absentees could hinder their ability to secure all three points in Córdoba.

2. 2Boca Juniors are difficult to break down and remain unbeaten in their last five outings across all competitions.
3. 3An injury list featuring several notable absentees leaves Boca somewhat depleted for this tricky away fixture.
