In Jorge Almirón’s first match for the Copa Libertadores and with the need to win to end the losing streak at La Bombonera, Boca hosts Deportivo Pereira, from Colombia, for the second date of group F. It will be played at 9:00 p.m. (Fox Sports/Star+) and with arbitration by the Uruguayan Andrés Matonte.
After the goalless draw in Venezuela against Monagas in the debut, Xeneize appears before his people in the midst of the football crisis with the obligation to win. Almirón’s cycle has two defeats in a row without goals in favor and the duel against debutant Pereira appears as an opportunity to straighten the course.
The Colombian champion also started his first international participation with a 1-1 draw, at home, against Colo Colo.
The new DT, finalist of the Copa Libertadores 2017 with Lanús, lost in his debut against San Lorenzo (1-0) and on Saturday he suffered a new setback with the defeat by the same result against Estudiantes in La Bombonera.
The public dismissed the team with whistles since in the last month and a half they only won two games: 3-0 against Barracas Central, and 2-1 against Olimpo, for the Argentine Cup.
In addition, the last home win was on February 19 in the Professional League against Platense 3-1 and then they had a draw and three defeats in a row.
Almirón will have to modify the team since Facundo Roncaglia was sent off in the debut against Monagas. Nicolás Figal will return to that place, who was suspended for the red card against San Lorenzo, and will form a duo with Nicolás Valentini, the replacement for the injured and also suspended Bruno Valdez.
Almirón also ratified the youthful Valentín Barco on the left side in the absence of Frank Fabra due to injury. In the midfield there will also be variations since Juan Ramírez finally suffered a tear and will be out for a few weeks.
The Paraguayan Óscar Romero will be delayed a few meters and will share the middle zone with Pol Fernández, who returns to ownership, and Alan Varela. The 4-3-3 scheme will be completed with the trident made up of Darío Benedetto, Norberto Briasco and Sebastián Villa.
Despite his judicial situation, the Colombian is a starter for the coaching staff, although in the last practice he tried Miguel Merentiel.
Probable formations
Boca Juniors: Sergio Romero; Luis Advíncula, Nicolás Figal, Nicolás Valentini and Valentín Barco; Guillermo Fernández, Alan Varela and Óscar Romero; Norberto Briasco, Darío Benedetto and Sebastián Villa or Miguel Merentiel. DT: Jorge Almirón.
D. Pereira: Aldair Quintana; Juan Zuluaga, Diego Hernandez, Geisson Perea, Carlos Ramirez and Jeison Suarez; Johan Bocanegra, Yilmar Velazquez and Maicol Medina; Angelo Rodriguez and Kevin Aladesan. DT: Alexander Restrepo.
