San Lorenzo vs Boca Juniors: Both teams to score - Yes

Bez's Verdict

Lean
Both teams to score - Yes Lost Solid lean Lean · Slight edge

The model assigns a 51.8% chance to both sides scoring, and recent form and head‑to‑head data support that likelihood.

Show the maths
San Lorenzo’s home xG of 1.1 and Boca’s away xG of 1.5 combine for an aggregate expected goal total of 2.6, just above the 2.5 threshold. The model translates this into a 51.8% BTTS probability, meaning the chance of both sides finding the net exceeds the chance of a clean‑sheet outcome. The top scorelines – 1‑1 (12.3%) and 1‑2 (9.2%) – both feature both teams scoring, reinforcing the BTTS read.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 51.8% model probability

With San Lorenzo averaging 1.1 expected goals and Boca Juniors averaging 1.5, the model gives a 51.8% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 48.2% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (San Lorenzo 1.1, Boca Juniors 1.5) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 51.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 48.2% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals Won 51.8% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.6 (San Lorenzo 1.1 + Boca Juniors 1.5) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 51.8% chance against 48.2% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (San Lorenzo 1.1 + Boca Juniors 1.5 = 2.6 combined): 48.2% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 51.8% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has San Lorenzo at 27.8%, the draw at 25.8%, and Boca Juniors at 46.4% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

San Lorenzo

WDLWD

San Lorenzo’s recent five‑game run includes a 1‑0 home win over Union Santa Fe and a 1‑1 away draw with Independiente, showing they can breach defenses while also leaking a goal. The 0‑0 draw at Estudiantes and the 0‑1 loss to Instituto underline a modest defensive record, meaning they are likely to concede at least once against Boca’s potent attack, supporting the BTTS pick.

Boca Juniors

DDWDW

Boca Juniors have recorded a 2‑2 away draw with Gimnasia and a 1‑1 away draw with Platense, both confirming they both score and concede on the road. Their recent 1‑0 home win over Lanus and 3‑1 home victory over Central Cordoba further illustrate an attacking edge that should translate into at least one goal against San Lorenzo, bolstering the BTTS case.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings, four matches featured both sides scoring – 1‑1 in March 2026, 3‑2 in August 2024, 2‑1 in March 2024, and 1‑1 in November 2023 – a clear trend that aligns with the BTTS pick.
