Auckland City v Boca Juniors
Tuesday 20:00 (Live on 5Action)
There was a shock in Ireland last night as Bohemians beat league leaders Shamrock Rovers 2-0. Our BTTS bet went down with the visitors.
We're dipping into the Club World Cup this evening. Auckland City have been outclassed by their first two opponents in Group C and we expect Boca Juniors to blast past them tonight.
The amateurs of Auckland have lost 10-0 to Bayern Munich and 6-0 to Benfica in the tournament to date. Tonight, they face opponents who need a big win to give themselves a chance of making the knockout stages.
The only way Boca can qualify is to win big and hope Bayern Munich beat Benfica in Group C's other game. If the Argentinean outfit can win this one by six or more, then goal difference in the other game won't matter. They'll just need Bayern to win - it won't matter by how many.
A six-goal win is usually a big ask, but Auckland's dire performances to date - plus Boca's extra motivation - suggest it's in reach tonight. At even money, we'll take this game to produce Over 5.5 Goals.
