In the race for second place on the grid for the round of 16 of the South American premier class, it remains exciting for the other three teams in the group final. Boca Juniors, who are one point ahead of Santos FC and The Strongest in Group C, currently has the best cards. If the top club in Buenos Aires prevails on the last day of the game, the round of 16 ticket can be bought on their own.

In the first half of the season, Boca was able to master the difficult away game at the Estadio Hernando Siles, one of the highest stadiums in the world at 3,637 meters above sea level, and thus scored three important points. In the second leg, the team of head coach Miguel Ángel Russo will now benefit from the home advantage in the legendary Bombonera Stadium.

Boca Juniors - Statistics & Current Form
Last week, Boca Juniors missed a Copa Libertadores win for the third time in a row and gambled away their good starting position. Because the "Xeneizes" were able to take at least one point against Barcelona SC, the team of head coach Russo still has the round of 16 in their own hands.

The last group game is against the bottom of the table from Bolivia. Just like the Boca Juniors, the Bolivian guests can still reach the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, so the Argentine representative in the night from Wednesday to Thursday (CET) does not expect an easy task.

Since 1994 Boca Juniors has been able to survive every group stage of the Copa Libertadores - provided CABJ has qualified for the premier class. In the last three editions, the top club from Buenos Aires even reached the semi-finals. It would therefore be all the more surprising if this year's adventure ended in the group stage.

La Bombonera - the fortress of Boca
Against The Strongest, Boca Juniors will benefit from the home advantage in the second half of the game. The most recent home balance (across all competitions) in this calendar year shows how important home law is for CABJ. There was only one defeat in 14 home games. Before the last two draws in "La Bombonera”, Boca Juniors took five home wins in a row.

Among other things, the team of head coach Miguel Ángel Russo prevailed in the home game against Santos FC. Boca Juniors scored two goals in which Carlos Tevez (1 goal, 1 assist) was directly involved. In the last home game against Barcelona SC the "Xeneizes" determined the action, but the Ecuadorian defensive bulwark could not be cracked.

The Strongest - stats & current form
The Strongest fought their way back after three defeats in the first three games in Group C and now still has the chance to reach the second round of the Copa Libertadores in the group final against Boca Juniors. In contrast to the last two preliminary round matches, where the Bolivians benefited from the home advantage, an away game is now on the agenda again.

The clear outsider role of the Bolivian representative is quite understandable. At home, The Strongest, like the national team of Bolivia, benefits from an immense home advantage, after all, the home games are played in one of the highest stadiums in the world.

In a foreign country, however, The Strongest has so far been rather harmless. Against Barcelona SC (1st) there was a clear away defeat, in which four goals were conceded. Santos FC even scored five goals against the Bolivian Tiger. It is quite possible that the next clear setback will follow in Boca Juniors' "La Bombonera”.

Again no point against Argentines?
The Strongest has never scored in Argentina. In 13 away games, including two in "La Bombonera”, the Bolivians suffered defeats. The appearances against River Plate and Boca Juniors, the two top clubs from Buenos Aires, were particularly disappointing. The Strongest only scored two goals in five guest appearances, but conceded a total of 18 goals.

Across seasons and across all competitions, the team of head coach Alberto Illanes has only had three threes in the last ten away games. If you also take a look at The Strongest's away record in the history of the Copa Libertadores, a prognosis for the guests at Boca Juniors vs. The Strongest can only be justified with a lot of optimism.

"Tigre" was only able to assert itself six times in the South American CL history abroad, with two of the six away wins even against Bolivian league competitors. Head coach Illanes will be able to draw on the full against Boca Juniors. Big changes compared to the last starting XI are not expected.

Expected formation of The Strongest:
Vaca - Torres, Valverde, Martelli, Jesus Sagredo, Jose Sagredo - Vaca, Miranda, Willie - Reinoso, Blackburn
Direct comparison / H2H
For the sixth time, the two international clubs meet. Boca Juniors has so far won four out of five games against The Strongest, only in August 1982 there was a defeat for the "Xeneizes" from Buenos Aires. As already mentioned, Boca prevailed 1-0 against the strong Bolivians at home in the first half of the season, but The Strongest had the bigger share of the game.
