After the rout in Mendoza, Boca aims to continue its winning streak and this Sunday hosts Banfield at La Bombonera. Miguel Ángel Russo's team will seek to retain the three points at home and climb positions in Zone A of the Clausura Tournament 2025.
The Xeneize will host Taladro this Sunday in a duel that cannot be missed and is key to reaffirming their recovery after the 3-0 victory against Independiente Rivadavia. Boca needs to keep adding points to get among the top eight of the first phase and be able to advance to the next stage in the local championship. In addition, it must secure its place in the next Libertadores through the annual table.
Considering all this, Miguel Ángel Russo plans to change as little as possible from the starting lineup that started the first victory of his cycle. He would only make one modification compared to those who started in Mendoza. Alan Velasco has a chance to get in and take the place of Carlos Palacios.
Boca comes from beating Independiente Rivadavia 3-0.
Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Marco Pellegrino, Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo Battaglia, Alan Velasco or Carlos Palacios; Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani.
Facundo Sanguinetti; Juan Martín Iribarren, Sergio Vittor, Alexis Maldonado, Ignacio Abraham; Lisandro Piñero, Santiago Esquivel, Martín Río, Gonzalo Ríos; Mauro Méndez, Rodrigo Auzmendi. DT: Pedro Troglio.
