Talleres have had a rougher time in their last 20 across Liga Profesional Argentina and Copa Argentina, winning 6, drawing 5 and losing 9, with 20 goals for and 25 against. They've shipped goals more often than they've kept clean sheets, and results have been inconsistent.

Boca look the more settled and effective side over their recent sample, even allowing for the tougher opposition mixed into that run.

Comparative Team Statistics: Boca Juniors vs Talleres Cordoba

Boca have had the upper hand lately

These two have faced off 17 times in the data we have, going back to 2017, and it's a fairly even split historically with plenty of draws mixed in. But the two most recent meetings both went Boca's way: a 2-0 home win last November and a 1-0 away win back in April.

Before that stretch, the pair drew twice in 2024, so it's not as if Talleres have been completely shut out of these fixtures over the years. It's just that the very latest meetings have favoured Boca.

The tables give a mixed signal

One set of standings has Boca second with 30 points from 16 games and Talleres fourth with 26 points from 16, which is a tight gap near the top. Another set has Boca fifth with 17 points from 10 games and Talleres way down in 14th with just 8 points from 10.

We can't be fully sure how these two readings relate to each other, but both agree on one thing: Boca are placed above Talleres in every version we've seen, and in one of them the gap is considerable.

Even accounting for the discrepancy between the two tables, nothing here suggests Talleres currently outrank Boca.

Merentiel leads the goal threat, Riquelme a card risk

Boca's Merentiel has scored 7 goals in 22 appearances, making him their clear reference point going forward based on what we have. On the other side, Talleres' Riquelme has picked up 2 yellows and a red in just 6 matches, which hints at a disciplinary edge worth watching, though it doesn't tell us anything about his likely involvement in this specific game.
