In 2024, Cavani played 12 games and scored eight times. According to data from the Sofascorethe striker has a goal every 97 minutes on the field.
The number 10’s aim is also a highlight. Of 19 attempted shots, 12 went towards goal (63%). Furthermore, the Uruguayan averages one goal every 2.3 shots.
Cavani arrived at Boca Juniors in the middle of last year and had a disappointing first season, scoring just three goals in 16 matches. However, the center forward improved in 2024 and became one of the club’s main players.
Boca Juniors returns to the field this Sunday in a derby against River Plate, at the Monumental de Núñez Stadium, for the Argentine Championship.
