For matchday 3 of the 2025 Professional Football League Closing Tournament, at the TomĂĄs Adolfo DucĂł Stadium, HuracĂĄn managed by Frank Kudelka welcomes Boca Juniors managed by Miguel Ăngel Russo.
The Xeneize has not had a good start in the second half of 2025, and comes from a hard blow, as it fell 2-0 against Atlético Tucumån during the week and was eliminated from the Argentina Cup. Russo's team only has the Closing Tournament left to qualify for the 2026 Libertadores Cup (it has been two years without being able to play group stage), so it will have to change its mindset as it only managed to get two points by drawing 0-0 with Argentinos Juniors and 1-1 with Unión de Santa Fe at the Bombonera.
On the other hand, HuracĂĄn, which will play the Argentina Cup round of 16 against LanĂșs next week, returns to the DucĂł after having debuted in the Closing with a tough defeat there against Belgrano. Kudelka's team has not yet scored as they then lost against Estudiantes in La Plata.
Leonardo Sequeira, expelled against Estudiantes, misses this match. Juan Bizanz replaces him; Eric RamĂrez for his part goes to the bench and MatĂas Tissera will play as the reference in the area. The rest of the eleven remains the same with SebastiĂĄn Meza in goal; TomĂĄs Guidara, Fabio Pereyra, NehuĂ©n Paz and CĂ©sar Ibåñez in defense; Leonel PĂ©rez and Leonardo Gil in the middle; Matko Miljevic and Rodrigo Cabral further forward.
The main novelty is the return of the young Milton Delgado, who had earned a starting spot and stood out in the midfield with Fernando Gago, but had not had minutes since Russo's arrival. Delgado will play alongside Leandro Paredes, with TomĂĄs Belmonte and Alan Velasco on the wings, to change the scheme to a 4-2-2. Up front are Merentiel and Cavani, while Luis AdvĂncula and Lautaro Blanco return to the sides. In the pair of center-backs, Rodrigo Bataglia plays with Marco Pellegrino., in front of the goalkeeper AgustĂn MarchesĂn.
