Command Analysis

Boca Juniors

Current form
By the start of the season, Boca Juniors was approaching as one of the main contenders for the championship title – the selection of players obliged them to set themselves the most ambitious goals. However, Fernando Gago's team started with two draws against Argentinos Juniors (0:0) and Union (1:1), gaining their first victory only in the third round, beating Uracan 2-1 at home. It was not possible to build on the success – in the last round, the Genoese lost 0:2 to Racing away and ended up on the 11th line in the table, which certainly does not meet the ambitions of the club.
