Boca Juniors run the risk of missing a place in the Copa Libertadores quarter finals, as they prepare for Match Day 6 of the competition. The Argentine giants are third in Group E with seven points, one below leaders Deportivo Cali, who they will be hosting. Boca Juniors lost 2-0 to Deportivo Cali in their opening meeting and here they are faced with a game they must win to progress in this competition. They are on a seven-game unbeaten run, with six clean sheets, and having conceded just one goal in the last seven matches, they will be confident of beating their visitors. In the last 10 matches, Boca Juniors have lost just once. At home, Boca Juniors are unbeaten in their last nine matches and one great quality they take to this game is the fact that they have four clean sheets in the last five matches at their backyard. Boca Juniors haven’t really been stable in the Copa Libertadores; they have two wins in five, both against bottom placed Always Ready.

Deportivo Cali took advantage of Boca Juniors’ slip in the last Copa Libertadores game. Their 3-0 win over Always Ready saw them leap to the group summit, and now staying there will be the big challenge. They have one win in the last five matches and two in the last 10 matches. The visitors have failed to score in two of their last five matches, and in Copa Libertadores, they have one win in the last four matches. Playing away from home has rarely favored Deportivo Cali; they have no win in 12 Copa Libertadores matches and in four of the last five away matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals. This is however their first participation in the competition since 2016. In the two away matches so far, Deportivo Cali have one draw and a loss. In their five visits to Boca Juniors, they have managed just one draw, and five losses.
