Head-to-head

Team news
No absences were listed for either side in the reports we checked.
Our prediction and why
We take Boca or draw (X2). Boca have the better form and Independiente have only one win in five, but Boca's draw at Instituto and the number of draws in this fixture mean our rules use double chance. Covering the draw suits the head-to-head.
Other bets to consider
The draw itself is about 3.10. It does not meet our draw rule, which needs draws in nine of the last ten meetings.
