THE PREDICTION
A goalless draw away to Boca Juniors in their last Libertadores outing means that the home team are assured of qualification to the knockout stage. The Ecuadorians have done it by being defensively solid but just seven goals in five matches suggests that Barcelona aren’t overly-attacking. They come up against a Santos side that must win to stand a chance of advancing to the next round given that Boca are playing The Strongest. Should Boca drop points and Santos win then last season’s runners up would qualify. However, they have now gone six matches without a victory away from home in all competitions. Therefore, a result is too close to call but it should be low-scoring.
