Boca Juniors face a must-win scenario on Tuesday night at Geodis Park as they aim to lock in a top-two finish against group underdogs Auckland City.

Auckland City, the semi-professional outfit from New Zealand that earned their FIFA Cub World Cup invite by ruling Oceanian football with seven titles from the last nine Champions League campaigns, won't have fond memories of this year's edition, especially after being drawn into a brutal group featuring Bayern, Benfica and Boca Juniors.

After finally returning to the grand stage of the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in nearly two decades, Boca Juniors showed flashes of quality but will feel the sting of letting a 2-0 lead slip in their draw with Benfica on matchday one, followed by a narrow loss to Bayern Munich who delivered a clinical late blow.

Auckland City vs Boca Juniors Betting Tips : UNDER 4

This isn’t about whether the Argentine club will come out on top, but rather by how many goals they’ll steamroll their way to another statement win, as we expect yet another rough outing for the outmatched New Zealand side who have already played the role of punching bag in the opening pair of group fixtures. After getting off to a nightmare start with a crushing 10-0 demolition at the hands of a ruthless Bayern Munich, the Navy Blues coped quite well with Benfica's onslqught in the first 45 minutes before completely unraveling in the second half and slumping to a final 6-0 loss, effectively becoming goal difference fodder for the rest of the group. While fans will be hoping for the Bavarian powerhouse to topple Benfica in the group final, Boca Juniors will be looking to boost their goal difference against the struggling Auckland City with a commanding performance, and we expect the Argentine side to storm out like a whirlwind from the first whistle. While Boca Juniors are heavily favored to get the job done without much resistance, it feels unlikely they’ll replicate the demolition jobs delivered by Bayern and Benfica against Auckland, which is why we believe the New Zealand underdogs could hold their own fairly well in Tuesday’s clash.

Ander Herrera, once of Athletic Bilbao, PSG, and Man United, received a straight red and an eye-catching four-game suspension, meaning he’ll miss Tuesday’s clash and possibly two more if his side advances.

Uruguayan talisman Edinson Cavani missed the opening pair of Club World Cup matches due to injury, but the veteran could now be named on the bench and await second-half minutes.
