Boca Juniors will invite Union to La Bombonera in the Torneo Clausura of the Argentine Primera Division on Friday. Both teams had enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign last week and will look to continue that form here.

The hosts got their campaign underway against Argentinos Juniors and were held to a goalless away draw. Their winless streak in all competitions was extended to five games with that draw, having gone winless in the FIFA Club World Cup group stage in June.

The visitors met Estudiantes in their campaign opener and registered a 1-0 home win. Mauricio Martínez scored the only goal of the match in the 21st minute.
