Boca Juniors Aims to Extend Dominant Home Form in Copa Libertadores Boca Juniors is set to continue its impressive run in the Copa Libertadores 2026 as it hosts Barcelona de Ecuador in a crucial Group Stage match at La Bombonera. The Xeneize, already boasting a strong start to the competition, seeks to build on its recent victory over Universidad Católica and maintain its unbeaten streak at home in the tournament. The match, scheduled for 21:00 local time, marks the second round of the group phase and carries significant weight in shaping Boca’s path to the next round. The Xeneize’s performance in La Bombonera has been nothing short of dominant. Since December 2020, Boca has not suffered a defeat in its home stadium during the Copa Libertadores, a streak that now spans 17 consecutive matches. This record includes a notable draw against Barcelona in 2021, where the teams split points 0-0. The current unbeaten run has been bolstered by a mix of victories and draws, with 9 wins and 8 draws in 17 games, showcasing the team’s resilience and tactical discipline under pressure. Boca’s recent form in the Libertadores has been a key factor in its confidence heading into this match. After a 2-1 victory over Universidad Católica in Santiago, the team is eager to extend its winning momentum. The club’s ability to perform consistently at home has been a defining trait, with fans playing a crucial role in creating an intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams. This psychological edge, combined with the tactical setup, has made La Bombonera a fortress for Boca in continental competition. The Xeneize’s home record extends beyond the Libertadores. In all CONMEBOL-organized tournaments, Boca has maintained an impressive 22-match unbeaten streak at La Bombonera, with 13 wins and 9 draws.#copa_libertadores #la_bombonera #boca_juniors #barcelona_ecuador #sebastian_battaglia
