Rodgers, in his assessment of how they fell out of the top four late on, can rightly point to the damaging impact of injuries to Maddison, his most innovative creator and crucial supplier to Golden Boot winner Jamie Vardy, and outstanding England left-back Ben Chilwell.

Indeed, backing a home win doesn't really offer great value on the full time line and we instead like the looking of backing both nets to be hit. Union have scored in their last 5 away games and despite their home strength, Boca have conceded once in their last 3 home league matches.
