Xeneize hosts Timão this Tuesday, starting at 9:30 p.m., with the aim of becoming strong at La Bombonera and reaching the quarterfinals.
With the illusion of following his path in the Libertadores Cup, Boca receive to Corinthians this Tuesday, from 9:30 p.m., for the return of the round of 16. After 0-0 in the first leg, Xeneize wants to become strong in La Bombonera and achieve a victory that will put them in the next instance of the maximum continental competition. Next, everything you need to know about the meeting.
The cast of La Ribera does not arrive in the best way to the duel against Timao: comes to suffer a very tough thrashing 3-0 against Banfield, Last friday. Beyond this, the truth is that he formed a totally alternative team against the Drill precisely to preserve his best men.
In that sense, Sebastián Battaglia will once again have his ideal eleven for the momentous cup match against Corinthians, this being similar to the one that equaled zero in Brazil. The only variant will be the return of Frank Fabra -after meeting the suspension date- by Agustín Sández.
Corinthians up in a similar way to Boca: last Saturday, also with an almost entirely alternative line-up -except for goalkeeper Cássio and Lucas Piton-lost by a resounding 4-0 against Fluminense as a visitor. With this result, not only did he not take advantage of the chance to pass Palmeiras at the top of the Brasileirao, but he also fell back to fourth position.
Thinking about the match with Boca, coach Vítor Pereira will face a problem similar to the one in the first leg in terms of assembling the teamsince it has numerous casualties and some players between cottons. Regarding that match, those who will surely leave the eleven are William (dislocated his shoulder) and Fagner (muscular problem); while it is likely that he can count on the returns of Du Queiroz and Cantillo.

Boca’s statement prior to the rematch with Corinthians for the Copa Libertadores
Within the framework of the rematch against Corinthians from Brazil for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, Boca Juniors once again calls on the fans to reflect on this Tuesday’s match at the Bombonera with passion but far from all kinds of racist demonstration.
This new game against a team from Brazil represents another opportunity to reject any xenophobic act that violates the rights of any group and to demonstrate the learning from recent experiences, which not only damages the club’s image but also the economy. Boca, worth saying once again, does not discriminate.
It should be remembered once again that Conmebol severely tightened the fines for participating clubs in cases of acts of racism and the repetition of these behaviors can not only lead to larger economic penalties but also even the closure of the stadium. As well as on the part of the club, this type of behavior implies a serious action that may be subject to the harshest sanctions provided for by the statute, such as expulsion in the status of partner.
