Boca Juniors are on a two-game winning streak in Argentina’s Liga Pro ahead of round 5. On Saturday, Boca Juniors will host Union Santa Fe as they seek a third straight Liga Pro win.

Union are down the table and sit 24th in the 28-team Argentine top flight. The team has posted just one win from four matches this season. Union are –4 in goals with 10 conceded and six scored.

Last time out, Union Santa Fe were thrashed 5-1 by River Plate. The Argentine giants, River Plate, had struggled up to that point in the season. Now, Union Santa Fe play another one of Argentina’s biggest teams, Boca Juniors. Will they suffer a similar fate for a second straight match?

Boca Juniors have taken nine points from 12 on offer this season. In round No. 4, Boca Juniors defeated Barracas Central 3-1. Sebastian Villa, Guillermo Fernandez, and Exequiel Zeballos all got onto the scoresheet in the win.

Zeballos leads the team in goals with three in four games. The Argentine forward is red hot in Liga Pro play.

Boca Juniors have played at home twice already this campaign. Both matches ended in wins with Boca outscoring their two opponents 7-4.

Union Santa Fe have taken four points from the opening four games. Like Boca Juniors, Union Santa Fe picked up a win against Barracas Central. That win is so far their only victory of the 2022 campaign.

Jonatan Alvez leads Union Santa Fe in goals with three. The team has scored just six times in Liga Pro after four games. Ten goals have been allowed by the Union Santa Fe defence.

Despite the gulf in class between these two sides in the table, Union Santa Fe have played well against Boca Juniors in recent meetings. Union Santa Fe have a head-to-head record of 2W-1D-3L against Boca Juniors in their last six matches.

In 2021, Union Santa Fe went unbeaten against Boca Juniors in cup and league matches. The big difference between last season and this season that Saturday’s game will be played at La Bombonera.

Saturday’s game should see goals scored. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Union Santa Fe’s last five games in Liga Pro. In addition, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Boca Juniors’ last three home games in Liga Pro.

Boca Juniors should continue their excellent form with a 3-1 win against Union. La Boca could go to the top of Liga Pro with the win.
