Boca Juniorswith the debut of Jorge Almirón as technical director, visits San Lorenzo this Wednesday in a classic that historically is unfavorable and is the outgoing match that proposes date 11 of the Professional Soccer League led by River Plate.

The match will be played from 5:30 p.m. at the Pedro Bidegain stadium, in San Lorenzo, will be refereed by Facundo Tello and televised by the signal ESPN Premium.

Xeneize has only 14 points in the tournament, it is very far from River (24) and the weak campaign ended with the cycle of Hugo Ibarra as DT, who was replaced on an interim basis by Mariano Herrón in the victory over Barracas Central (3- 0) and the defeat once morest Colón (2-1). Herrón also led the team in the debut in the Copa Libertadores de América, in the goalless draw in Venezuela once morest the modest Monagas for Group F completed by Colo Colo, from Chile, and Deportivo Pereira, from Colombia.

Almirón took over the management of Boca in an unfavorable context because he will have a string of important games that will prevent him from working on a day-to-day basis, which is his forte. In fact, he will lead the team once morest San Lorenzo with just a couple of practices. Boca will play once morest Ciclón, on Saturday they will receive Estudiantes de La Plata at La Bombonera and then they will have the Copa Libertadores as the home of Deportivo Pereira (current Colombian soccer champion) during the week. Later he will face crosses once morest Rosario Central, Racing Club and River.

El Ciclón has 20 points in the LPF, has just beaten local Atlético (3-1) in Tucumán and also began its campaign in the Copa Sudamericana with a victory in Venezuela over Estudiantes de Mérida (1-0), with a game solid that shows the imprint of his coach Rubén Darío Insúa.

In Boca, Almirón will take on the classic with his style, kicking the front plate and with a new tactical scheme that will include three defenders, four players in midfield and three forwards. That initial scheme of Almirón with little time to work will debut once morest San Lorenzo and it is not defined what will continue on Saturday once morest Estudiantes, although the brand new coach was already looking at the figure of the Reserve, the winger Valentín Barco, who might occupy the future the place of “Gusa” Sandez.

On the side of San Lorenzo, the “Gallego” Insúa will have an obligatory variant due to the fact that Gastón Hernández was expelled in Tucumán, and his place will not be occupied by a player with the same characteristics as was presumed, since the name of Gonzalo Luján, but will include Paraguayan forward Adam Bareiro to diagram a team with a very offensive profile.

San Lorenzo appears as a favorite because he arrives in a superior context, with a good level of play and better results, and also because his record with Boca is very favorable with a ten-game advantage. In professionalism they played a total of 190 games and the Cyclone won 75 times once morest 65 for the Xeneizes, while they tied 50 times.

The last time they met was also on the San Lorenzo field and in a similar context. On that occasion, on July 9 of last year for the seventh date of the LPF, San Lorenzo won 2-1.
