Boca Juniors vs Dep. Riestra Prediction: Stats, Tips & Betting Preview

Looking for the best Boca Juniors vs Dep. Riestra prediction? You’re in the right place. As the Liga Profesional Argentina kicks off its Apertura round on January 25, 2026, all eyes turn to the Estadio Alberto José Armando in Buenos Aires, where Boca Juniors host Deportivo Riestra at 21:30 GMT. With a big gulf in squad value and recent form, this match has plenty for punters and fans alike to chew over. Let’s break down the tactics, team news, and what our AI says about the likely outcome.

Form, Tactics & Team News: Boca’s Power Meets Riestra’s Grit

Boca Juniors come into this fixture as league leaders, riding high with four wins from their last five matches. They’ve been stingy at the back, conceding just 0.2 goals per game, while averaging 1.4 goals scored. No wonder they’re valued at a hefty €92.30m—almost ten times more than Dep. Riestra’s €9.25m squad. Boca’s home fortress, the Bombonera, is never easy for visitors, and the odds reflect that, with a home win priced at just 1.672.

On the other side, Deportivo Riestra have been the league’s wild cards. Depending on who you ask, they’re either 4th or 9th in the table, but recent results have been mixed: one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five outings. They’ve only managed 0.4 goals per game, conceding 0.6, and their last six league matches have all featured under 2.5 goals. Defensive discipline? Yes. Fireworks up front? Not so much.

Injuries & Squad Updates

Boca Juniors: Key striker Miguel Merentiel is out with a calf tear, and Edinson Cavani remains a doubt with back pain. Milton Giménez, Rodrigo Battaglia, and Carlos Palacios are also nursing injuries. Coach Claudio Úbeda is likely to turn to Lucas Janson to fill the number 9 role, while carefully managing minutes for Ander Herrera and Leandro Paredes in midfield.
Dep. Riestra: Eric Tovo (cruciate ligament), Rodrigo Gallo (ankle), and Ignacio Arce (broken finger) are all sidelined, limiting coach Gustavo Benítez’s options.

Tactically, Boca Juniors are expected to focus on control and midfield dominance, especially with Herrera and Paredes pulling the strings. Úbeda’s contract extension brings stability, and with club legends like Juan Román Riquelme and Marcelo Delgado in management, the club’s structure looks solid. Dep. Riestra, meanwhile, will likely stick to their disciplined, low-scoring approach, hoping to frustrate Boca and nick something on the counter.

Head to Head, Transfers & More

In their only previous meeting, Boca Juniors and Dep. Riestra played out a 1-1 draw—a reminder that upsets can happen, even when the odds look lopsided. Boca’s recent transfer window hasn’t brought in big names, but promotions from within (Iker Zufiaurre, Marcelo Weigandt) show a focus on youth. Dep. Riestra, with a seasoned squad averaging 29.6 years, have been steady, but their transfer activity is limited, and their squad depth will be tested.

Last H2H: Boca Juniors 1-1 Dep. Riestra (2024-10-27)
Notable upsets: Dep. Riestra beat River Plate away 2-1 in late 2025, defying odds of 7.8!
Boca Juniors held Benfica to a 2-2 draw in June 2025, surprising many.
