**Auckland City vs Boca Juniors: In-Depth Predictions**
After a gripping battle against Bayern Munich, Boca Juniors face a must-win situation in their final Club World Cup group game. **Auckland City** is on the ropes; they need not only a victory but also a loss from Benfica to have any hope of advancing.
However, with **Auckland City** having faced a staggering **16 goals** conceded in their previous two games, Boca has an opportunity to capitalize. A recent match against Benfica ended in a 6-0 rout, and they succumbed to a **10-0** defeat against Bayern. Will this be a cakewalk for the Argentine giants?
Miguel Merentiel has emerged as a standout performer for Boca, particularly in the absence of veteran Edinson Cavani. He has consistently found the back of the net: scoring in both of Boca’s Group C matches. Expect him to continue this phenomenal form!
His prowess in front of goal is hard to ignore, particularly against a team that has struggled defensively. Six players have scored at least twice against Auckland so far, making Merentiel’s prolific scoring a reasonable expectation.
**Key Stats to Consider**
Auckland City has allowed a staggering **33 shots on target** over just two games. This lack of defensive solidity poses a serious threat as they face a Boca team looking to improve its goal difference.
