Boca Juniors have endured a poor start to the Argentine Primera Division, and are yet to win a game. Experienced forward Carlos Tevez left the club this year, and in his absence the likes of Cristian Pavon and Norberto Briasco have had to take on more responsibility.

Argentinos Juniors, on the other hand, have won only one game in the Argentine Primera Division so far. The likes of Gabriel Avalon and Gabriel Hauche will be crucial if they are to get a positive result in this game.

Boca Juniors should register their first win.
