From 19.15, Boca Juniors will receive Always Ready, from Bolivia, for date 2 of Group E of the Copa Libertadores. The game, which will be arbitrated by the Uruguayan Gustavo Tejera, can be followed by Fox Sports Y Star+.
The one of today can be a hinge party for the future of the Xeneize in the highest club tournament in South America. is that after the defeat against Deportivo Cali In colombia, Sebastián Battaglia he knows that his team cannot relegate points at home. That is why for the duel tonight in the Bombonera I would bet on a very offensive starting eleven to go in search of the first three points in the competition.
After the draw against Vélez for the League Cup, coach xeneize had bad news in the last training session. Nicholas Figalwho was going to replace the Peruvian Carlos Zambrano -suffered a tear at the cupbearer premiere- he was injured in one of his adductors and will not be able to be in the game against the Bolivian team. In this way, Battaglia will have to bet on an unprecedented duo of central markers in defense in which both are 20 years old.
Boca will take to the field with Agustin Rossi in the bow On the right side will be Luis Advinculawhile on the left side will be Frank Fabra, the captain instead of the suspended Marcos Rojo and Carlos Izquierdos. And behind will play Gabriel Arandawho comes from doing it against El Fortín last Saturday, and Gaston Avila.
Waiting for confirmation, it is possible that the DT bets on a change in the scheme. He would play again with the 4-3-3 with which he began in his stage and in which the protagonists of the midfield would be the Paraguayan Oscar Romero by right, Pol Fernández as central steering wheel and Juan Ramirez to the left. on the attack, Edward Salvio would join Exequiel Zeballos Y Darío Benedetto.
For its part, the visit comes with the surprise of having won in its debut in the Libertadores against Corinthians, as a local in the height of La Paz. Always Ready, current soccer runner-up in Bolivia, beat the Brazilians with goals from Argentine Marcos Riquelme and Rodrigo Ramallo.
Moreover, after the victory in the Cup, they thrashed for the local tournament: they went 6-2 to Universitario de Vinto with a hat trick from Riquelme. In the Bolivian competition, he is in fourth position in zone B with 11 points, eight behind the leader Blooming.
