Atletico Mineiro vs Boca Juniors: Storylines 

Before last week’s match, the last time Atletico Mineiro and Boca Juniors faced each other in Copa Libertadores was in 1978, when they faced each other in the semifinals. Boca won both matches, 2-1 in Brazil and 3-1 on home soil, and ended up winning that tournament

Boca Juniors want to end a strike of three matches without win across all competitions, as they lost once and drew twice. Nevertheless, it won’t be an easy endeavor. Their last encounter in La Bombonera was tough for both sides, and almost no chances for either side. 

Atletico Mineiro now will have the advantage of playing on home soil. Also, as the team has finally won in their domestic league, is ready to receive their rivals and try to reach the quarterfinals.
