Patronato vs Boca Juniors: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Boca Juniors head to this round after recording three straight wins in the Argentine League. Those triumphs gave much-needed relief to Russo's boys as they were lacking consistency up to that moment. Not even the defeat at the hands of Barcelona SC in the Libertadores threaten a Xeneize side that is in high spirits ahead of the knockout stage of the local competition.

Patronato don't have much to play for, except to try not to finish last. Ivan Delfino's squad had an awful start to the contest losing the first seven games. El Patrón improved a bit as they claimed three wins, but their record still looks pretty bad.

These two do not have a long history of facing each other. Boca have never lost to Patronato so far, as they've won five games and the other one ended in a draw.
