Boca Juniors host Huracan in Buenos Aires for the Apertura Round of 16. Boca enters as the stronger side, boasting a significantly higher win rate and a deeper squad. Huracan, less consistent lately, looks to disrupt expectations. A key subplot is Boca’s forward Milton Giménez, who has scored twice in his last five matches, facing Huracan’s energetic midfielder Facundo Waller, who has delivered a goal and an assist in his last four games. Boca’s hot stat: they scored four against Defensa y Justicia in their recent home match, underlining their attacking strength.

Boca Juniors vs Huracan prediction
We predict Boca Juniors to win. Boca’s home form and attacking firepower set them apart. The side’s 63% win rate over the last month dwarfs Huracan’s 25%. Boca has netted seven in their last five, dominating possession and generating more chances than Huracan. Huracan’s discipline is slightly better with fewer yellow cards, but Boca’s pressing disrupts opposition rhythm and forces errors.
Boca’s high volume of passes (1709 in five matches) and strong pass accuracy (67%) highlight their intent to control the midfield. Huracan, with 1463 passes and 55 fouls in the same span, play a more direct, physical game. Huracan’s higher number of interceptions signals active defending but leaves them vulnerable to Boca’s pace on the break. Boca’s tendency to rack up fouls and cards may yield set-piece chances for Huracan, but Boca’s set-piece defending is generally sound.

Team Analysis
Boca Juniors: Boca lost 0-1 to Barcelona SC in their last match, a rare home defeat. Prior to that, they beat Central Cordoba 2-1 and routed Defensa y Justicia 4-0. Defensive solidity and aggressive pressing have been cornerstones, though lapses in concentration sometimes appear when holding leads. Boca’s back line, anchored by Marcelo Weigandt and Ayrton Enrique Costa, keeps things compact, while forwards like Milton Giménez and Alan Velasco provide a regular goal threat.
Huracan: Huracan managed a 0-0 draw against Racing Club last time out, following a 1-2 home loss to Argentinos Juniors. Their defense is sturdy when focused, but attacking output is inconsistent, scoring just five in their last five matches. Key man Facundo Waller supports transitions and links play, while forward Jordy Caicedo, with two goals in the last four, remains their best hope for a breakthrough.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Boca Juniors the favourite
- Moneyline Boca Juniors 1.83 | Huracan 4.90
- Draw 3.20
- Over/Under Over 2.5 2.40 | Under 2.5 1.55
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 2.30 | No 1.60
Bookmakers make Boca clear favourites, with odds rarely drifting above 1.85. Huracan’s high odds reflect their recent struggles and patchy away form. Under 2.5 goals is priced short, as both teams’ recent games have been low-scoring. BTTS ‘No’ is favored, matching both squads’ tendency to shut out opponents and struggle in front of goal. Value lies in backing Boca and low goal lines.
Possible Starting Lineups
Boca Juniors possible starting eleven
- GK: Leandro Brey
- DF: Marcelo Weigandt, Jorge Nicolás Figal, Ayrton Enrique Costa, Lautaro Blanco
- MF: Tomás Belmonte, Milton Delgado, Leandro Paredes, Malcon Braida, Williams Alarcón
- FW: Milton Giménez
Boca likely stick to their trusted 4-2-3-1 formation. Brey, ever-present, anchors the back. Weigandt and Costa provide width, while Paredes and Delgado dictate tempo. Giménez leads the line, supported by Braida’s runs and Alarcón’s creativity. Boca’s central midfielders’ work rate stands out, and Alan Velasco could be a game-changer off the bench.
Huracan possible starting eleven
- GK: Hernan Ismael Galindez
- DF: Lucas Carrizo, Fabio Pereyra, Hugo Nervo, Lucas Blondel
- MF: Facundo Waller, Leonardo Gil, Emmanuel Ojeda, Oscar Cortes
- FW: Jordy Caicedo, Juan Francisco Bisanz
Huracan typically line up in a 4-4-2. Galindez organizes from the back, while Nervo and Pereyra form a solid partnership. Waller and Gil offer balance in midfield. Caicedo, in good scoring form, is Huracan’s main outlet. Bisanz supports with work rate and link-up play, while Cortes’ dribbling might test Boca’s defense on the flanks.
