Boca Juniors vs Sarmiento: Storylines and Head-to-Head
Boca Juniors bounced back from a two-game losing streak when they beat Aldosivi last time out. Nearly two weeks after that game, El Xeneize aim to build from there to get back to winning ways at home, where they lost to Gimnasia on Matchday 19.
Sarmiento, meanwhile, want to produce an upset in La Bombonera but the outlook isn’t encouraging. After a weak start to the campaign and two defeats in their last two games, Mario Sciaqua was fired. So, interim coach Martin Funes will take over for this game.
These teams don’t have a long history of facing each other in the Argentine top-flight. Boca Juniors, however, have been dominant with five triumphs out of five encounters, while Sarmiento won once.
