**Boca's hosting a wounded Central Córdoba side at La Bombonera, and the hosts are rolling.** 🔵⚪ Five straight without a loss has **Boca** looking scary, while **Central Córdoba** have limped to 1W in their last five — this has blowout energy written all over it.

Form tells the story: **Boca** are clicking at home (back-to-back wins vs São Paulo and Lanús), but they're dealing with a brutal injury list — five players out including midfield anchors. **Central Córdoba** can't catch a break either, dropping three of five, and facing an in-form Xeneize away is the wrong fixture for a reset.

Key storylines:

- **Boca's depth gets tested**: L. Paredes, R. Battaglia, and M. Delgado all sidelined leaves S. Ascacíbar and T. Belmonte carrying the midfield load.
- **Central Córdoba chasing composition**: With only M. Santos missing, they're relatively healthy, but form suggests they'll struggle to unlock a settled Boca backline.
- **Head-to-head gulf**: Boca own this matchup 5 wins to 1 over eight games — **Central** rarely leave La Bombonera with anything.

Expected lineups:

- **Boca Juniors**: Á. Montero, L. Blanco, L. D. Lollo, L. Lozano, D. Gorosito, S. Ascacíbar, T. Belmonte, C. R. Domenech, L. Flores, M. Merentiel, S. Villa
- **Central Córdoba**: A. Aguerre, A. Maciel, F. Martínez, S. Moyano, F. Mansilla, M. Vera, L. González, D. Barrera, M. Iacobellis, E. Naya, L. Varaldo

Prediction:

**Boca 2–0 Central Córdoba**. Home form, opposition fragility, and that historical edge make **Boca** the clear lean. 🎯
