SAO PAULO: Boca Juniors remains confident it can win its record-tying seventh Copa Libertadores title on Wednesday despite having to overcome a disappointing result at home in the first leg against Corinthians last week.
Boca Juniors allowed a late goal in the 1-1 draw in Buenos Aires and now it will have to try to rebound playing in front of the raucous fans of the popular Brazilian team, which is trying to win its first ever title in Latin America’s most important club competition.
Corinthians is yet to lose in this year’s Copa Libertadores and has allowed only one goal when playing at Pacaembu Stadium in Sao Paulo.
Boca Juniors striker Santiago Silva says Corinthians will likely play better at home, but Boca is more than capable of earning the title.
