Boca Juniors

Boca Juniors have been very inconsistent over the last few weeks. Since winning the league title, the club has overseen a large turnaround of players. Manager Miguel Ángel Russo will be keen to make sure that Boca Juniors continued their wonderful streak of league titles. The club has picked up three league wins in the last four seasons. However, their form at the start of the 2020-21 season has been so great and it provides a reason for chasing teams to make a tilt for the title.
