Boca Juniors vs Deportivo Recoleta Prediction

For Boca Juniors vs Deportivo Recoleta (Copa Sudamericana) our analyst goes with Over 2.5 goals. This is a judgement call against the recent numbers, which is why no confidence figure is shown. Matches involving Boca Juniors produced 2.0 goals per game over their last 5, and 2 of those went over 2.5. For Deportivo Recoleta it is 1.8 goals per game, with 1 of 5 over 2.5. On recent form this pick looks wrong: just 3 of the teams' last 10 games went over 2.5. The analyst's view is that those games, against different levels of opposition, say little about this particular matchup.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. It is a judgement call, not a numbers call, and it is tracked in our record like every other pick. Final score: 3-1. The pick won.
