Boca Juniors vs The Strongest: Storylines

Boca Juniors will be back at home seeking a much-needed win in the current Libertadores. The Xeneize have failed to grab a victory in their last three games, and even though they are still in contention for a top-two finish, they are also under pressure to finish the group stage strongly.

Last week, Russo's boys were held to a draw by Barcelona de Guayaquil in a poor, uneventful game. While their Argentine Copa de la Liga semifinal duel against Racing Club has been postponed due to a lockdown in the country, Boca have to focus on advancing to the next stage and avoid a disappointing result.

On the other hand, The Strongest will show up at La Bombonera with chances of surpassing the hosts in the table. Against all odds, the Bolivian team defeated 2-1 Santos in La Paz in Matchday 5 and head to the group stage finale with chances of earning a last 16 berth.
