Barcelona SC host Boca Juniors in a Copa Libertadores Group D fixture, with the Argentine side arriving in Ecuador as the stronger team on current form.
For Barcelona SC, this is a match that demands a response. The Ecuadorian club sit fourth in Group D and have struggled for consistency, winning just one of their last five matches across all competitions. Their domestic campaign has been patchy, and a heavy defeat to these same opponents in the previous group stage meeting will have left a mark.
Boca Juniors come into this fixture with real momentum. Fernando Gago's side have won three of their last five matches and have been among the more impressive sides in CONMEBOL competition this campaign. Their 3-0 win over Barcelona SC in the reverse fixture underlined the gap between the two clubs at this stage.
The Buenos Aires club also claimed a famous victory over River Plate in the Superclásico in April, a result that spoke to the mental strength and quality running through this squad. Boca sit second in Group D and will be looking to consolidate their position with another positive result on the road.
For Barcelona SC, the stakes could not be much higher. A defeat would leave their hopes of progressing from the group stage in serious jeopardy. Home advantage at their Guayaquil ground gives them something to build on, but they will need a performance well above their recent levels to trouble a Boca side in this kind of form.
