The Primera Argentina 2024 continues to go forth, and we look at the lower half of the board, as the 15th and 18th-placed teams face each other once Boca and Vélez hit the field.
None of these two teams are doing “bad” per se, but they need to pick up the pace quickly if they do not want to be left behind, as the top teams are doing over double their points right now. However, the season has just begun and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
We can’t wait to see these two teams get on the field, as the season continues to get more and more interesting with each passing matchday.

Why Bet on Boca?
The hosts for this match will be the Xeneixes, who have won a single match, drawn another, and lost twice, scoring four points in four games.
The hosts were last in action last weekend against Platense at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López where they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat. It was the first loss for Diego Martínez’s side in five games across all competitions. However, with one win in the last four games, they must improve quickly as the top of the table is moving farther away.
Much more is expected from Boca this season, although there is still certain tranquility on the air, as in the Copa de la Liga 2024 they also had a slow start. They recovered to reach the semifinals, so the same performance is expected for a team with such a powerful squad.
Why Bet on Vélez?
The Fortín will be the visitor, looking to get the gears going as they have a similar form to Boca. They won a single match, drew 2, and lost one, scoring five points in their four games.
Same as Boca, Velez comes from a pretty decent Copa de la Liga, where they finished fourth in Group A and reached the final.However, they couldn’t carry that form to this edition of the Primera Argentina and are facing a challenging semester.
Although the defense is nothing to be praised with five goals against, the main problem is the lack of offensive production. They carry this issue from the previous phase, when they scored just 14 goals thus being the worst attack between the eight qualified teams.
Final Betting Analysis: Boca vs. Vélez
Boca Juniors are capable of scoring many goals on a good day, but their recent offensive displays have not been good, especially at home.
Diego Martínez’s men scored under 1.5 goals in four of their last five encounters and as many games ended with less than two goals.
With Vélez’s defense not being that great so far, this is the chance for them to get some needed three points and climb their way up on the scoreboard, and we are backing them up here to take the win. We’ll go for a 2-1.
Go for a victory for the locals at 2.09. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $109 for a total payout of $209.
