Boca Juniors , the current Argentine soccer champion, will assume a difficult commitment when they visit
Vélez Sarsfield
this Saturday night
, in the outgoing match of the four that will give continuity to the fifth date of the Professional Soccer League (LPF). .
The match will be played starting at 9:30 p.m. at the José Amalfitani stadium, will be refereed by Yael Falcón Pérez and televised by the ESPN Premium signal.
The Xeneize
team
has 7 points, is seventh (7th)
and has just beaten
Platense
at home 3-1.
The victory over El Calamar brought some relief to the fans and the players since it came after the tough defeat in Córdoba against Talleres (2-1) in which the team showed a lack of game generation.
DT Ibarra took note and made changes to the team that ended up giving him an improvement, especially in the income
of Ezequiel
Equi
Fernández
in midfield (he replaced Ramírez) and the Uruguayan
Miguel Merentiel
(supplanted Orsini) together with the youthful
Luca Langoni
(by Sebastián Villa) in offense.
Likewise, Villa will be available for this match
, who received only one suspension date for seeing the red card in Córdoba, and Darío Benedetto, who owed a four-day suspension
and has not yet made his debut in the domestic tournament.
However, Ibarra seems to have both of them on the substitute bench and will keep Langoni and Merentiel on offense, while the changes he will make will be two and for other reasons.
In this sense,
Facundo Roncaglia will replace Paraguayan
Bruno Valdéz
in defense
, with a muscle ailment, and
Martín Payero
will replace
Alan Varela
in midfield, in this case for tactical reasons.
With a probable eleven similar and in the
previous one to the Supercopa against Board of Trustees
, Boca will try to repeat in Liniers what was done the previous week and thus climb positions.
Boca and Board of Trustees will define the champion of the Argentine Super Cup at the Madre de Ciudades stadium next Wednesday
, in an important match as it will bring a new star to the winner.
On the other hand,
Vélez is fourteenth (14th) with 5 points after drawing in Tucumán (1-1)
with the local team Atlético, a game that they had almost won, conceding the goal against in the final minutes.
In the Liniers team
there is also disagreement with the performance of the team led by the Uruguayan Alexander
Cacique
Medina
and the game on this date is considered a good opportunity to take off.
As a consequence of not obtaining good results,
the Uruguayan coach has some doubts about scheduling the team
and would make a couple of variations in relation to the formation he presented in previous matches.
The variants thought would be from the Uruguayan defender
Diego Godín
, who did not finish the match physically well and would leave his place to
Valentín Gómez
, while
Walter Bou
would enter instead of
Santiago Castro or Abiel Osorio
, while
Lucas Pratto
would continue on the bench. alternates.
Likewise, even both Boca and Vélez are far from the leader of the domestic tournament,
Lanús
, who has 12 points and has an impeccable campaign since he won all four games he played.
The record between the two is a total of 175 games, with 89 victories for Boca, 45 for "La V azulada" and 41 draws, the last
time they played in Liniers on October 24, 2021 with a 2-2 victory for the local. 0 with goals from Federico Mancuello and Cristian Tarragona, who are no longer at the club.
