Auckland City v Boca Juniors: Free Club World Cup tips, predictions, where to watch and bet builder

The New Zealanders have been totally outclassed at the Club World Cup, suffering some truly embarrassing hammerings - 10-0 to Bayern Munich and 6-0 to Benfica.

Another bottom smacking could be on the cards as Argentinian giants Boca Juniors rock up to Geodis Park in Nashville, knowing they need a big win and results elsewhere to go their way if they want to qualify for the knockout phase.

Boca have already drawn with Benfica and lost to Bayern, so squeaking through from this group will be an impressive achievement, while Auckland will want to leave the tournament without becoming a total laughing stock.

Here we’ve picked out some of the best bets for Auckland v Boca Juniors. All odds are correct at time of writing.

Auckland v Boca Juniors predictions

Over 6+ goals - 6/5

Boca to score in both halves - 1/8

Both teams to score -  no - 2/9

Miguel Merentiel anytime goalscorer - 7/20

Luis Advincula 1+ foul - 1/4

Over 6+ goals - 6/5

Auckland City are huge outsider at 150/1, and there's no value in a Boca Juniors win either.

An absolute walloping is the way to go here, as Auckland were hit for ten against Bayern and six against Benfica.

Boca need to turn their -1 negative goal difference into a large positive one to have any hope of knocking Benfica out of the second qualification place, although that heavily depends on the result of Portuguese side's match with Bayern Munich.

Scoring this many will be a big ask for Boca as they last netted more than three goals back in April, seven games ago in a 3-1 league win against Belgrano.

Boca to score in both halves - 1/8

Boca need goals to be flowing from the very start to get the goal difference to swing in their favour, so will fly out of the traps and then work through the gears as Auckland tire in the second half.

Bayern opened the scoring against Auckland as early as the sixth minute and scored their tenth in the 84th. Meanwhile it took Benfica to a first half added time penalty to get the first of their six. 

Both teams to score no - 2/9

In the Club World Cup so far Auckland have only managed five shots, with three of those on target with an xG of a truly feeble 0.15.

Even though Boca are without defender Niclas Figal, who is serving a four game ban after receiving a red against Benfica, they should still be able to keep a clean sheet.

Miguel Merentiel anytime goalscorer - 7/20

Merentiel scored against Bayern in his only shot of the game.  He has also netted three in the last seven.

He'll be leading the line against Auckland so will get plenty of opportunities.

Luis Advincula 1+ foul - 1/4

Boca are certainly a combative side wracking up 31 fouls in their last five games, plus five yellows and two reds in Club World Cup.

Peruvian veteran full-back Advincula averages 2.1 fouls a game and collected another two against Bayern Munich and a yellow.

He also committed another foul against Benfica, so should be a reliable bet here again.
