This Sunday at 5pm at the Monumentale, Boca Juniors AND River Plate They will meet again in a new Superclásico as part of the interzonal appointment of the Professional League Cup. The last time both teams met was on October 1 last year in La Bombonera, when the Millionaires they defeated the Xeneizes 2-0.
On the team’s side Diego Martinezthe eyes return to rest Edinson Cavani. El Matador has been part of the Boca team for six months and still is failed to maintain performance that fully meets expectations which happened to him after his arrival from Europe.
One of the first situations in which the ’10’ was looked at askance was in November during the Copa Libertadores final. In the defeat against Fluminense, the Uruguayan was faced with some clear scoring situations which he was unable to take advantage of. and he was also seen inaccurate in giving passes. Quite the opposite of the performance shown by the Salto scorer in the semi-final against Palmeiras, when he had been decisive in the rematch in Sao Paulo.
From there, as the matches progressed, new clear scoring opportunities were added which still did not allow the attacker to celebrate new goals. Thus was born the striker who has been able to shine, so far, in Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain he scored three times in 19 games, with two injuries in between. And the patience of Boca fans is starting to run out. His last appearance dates back to his team’s defeat against Lanús, where he also had a lackluster performance.
After recovering from the injury that left him out of the field for three dates, the striker played 38 minutes at La Fortaleza, in which he didn’t even manage to convert. Even though not many minutes have passed, Cavani had two clear opportunities that he was unable to exploit: The first was a header in the six-yard box that missed the target. The second, despite being offside, was a shot that bounced off the left post.
On Sunday against River he will have a great opportunity to change his image, scores his first goal of the year and brings joy to his fans. Will the attacker be able to change the negative period? If you look at what the betting houses say, the answer seems to be no.. In fact, there are five River players who are the most favored to score a goal Super.
On the online betting site bplaythe Uruguayan pays a fee of 4.60 like his teammate Darío Benedetto. But Millonario’s attackers, even some who usually start matches as substitutes, are the favorites to get wet before Cavani. Who are those footballers?
Whoever wants to score is the Colombian Miguel Borja. River is ahead pay a fee 2.57, although his presence in the Superclásico is unknown due to a muscle discomfort that he carries with him in the last few days. In the last five games he has scored six goals and is the competition’s top scorer. The Colombian followed Agostino Rubertothe 18-year-old forward who has logged minutes in nearly every game this year pays a fee 3.30.
The other player better positioned than Cavani in betting is the former Tiger, Facundo Colidio, who pays the same as Ruberto and who was a frequent starter in Demichelis’ team. The other candidate to score is Pablo Solariauthor of the equalizer against Banfield last Sunday. Pays 3.70.
Most striking of all is the appearance of the young seventeen-year-old Ian Subiabre, which hasn’t even debuted online yet. He made his first team debut on 31 January in the second round against Barracas Central. The boy pays to fare 3.30. The 5 attacking forwards and midfielders are positioned better than the 37-year-old Xeneize striker, proof that on paper the goals appear to be the hosts’ goal.
