With the courage in it after the victories over Racing and Colo Colo, Xeneize prepares with few doubts for the visit to the Monumental.
What seemed impossible a few weeks ago became reality based on a number of results: Boca reached the Superclásico against River with full courage. After the very good victory over Racing last weekend, Xeneize won against Colo Colo in Chile to guide qualifying into the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores and now they go to Núñez with a confidence that the team had not had in all of 2023.
The complete history of the Superclásico
The big duel of Argentine football, valid for the 15th date of the Professional League Tournament, will take place this Sunday, May 7 from 5 p.m. at the Monumental.
THE CALLED OF MOUTH VS. RIVER
Apart from the team’s very good form, Jorge Almirón continues with many casualties and was only able to recover one of the injured before the weekend: while the squad was in Santiago, Frank Fabra And Dario Benedetto They were needed in Buenos Aires, but only the Colombian responded well and they hope he can be included in the call. El Pipa, meanwhile, has to wait at least another week to return.
The ones that were thrown out from the start are Luca Langoni (who on Tuesday suffered from the tear he suffered in mid-April), Bruno Valdez, Juan Ramirez and Exequiel Zeballos.
Moreover, the DT will not be able to count on it Martin Payero, who has to meet a suspension date due to the exclusion he received against Racing.
THE FORMATION OF THE MOUTH VS. RIVER
Almirón is coming off a repeat formation in victories over Racing and Colo Colo and the team’s performance gives us no reason to think he wants to change at this point. However, Payero’s absence forces him to perform at least one variant and DT has three alternatives: Cristian Medina, Ezequiel Fernández and Óscar Romero. In Chile, Medina was the one to replace the ex-Banfield in the attachment, so it could be a clue to the weekend.
With just over a day to go before the game, he still hasn’t put an eleven in training. On Friday morning, those playing in Chile performed regenerative duties as usual substitutes reduced football. The team had the returns of Rojo and Fabra. This is how it came out: Javier García; Natan Acosta, Lautaro Di Lollo, Marcos Rojo, Frank Fabra; Diego González, Esteban Rolón, Oscar Romero; Norberto Briasco, Miguel Merendiel and Nicolas Orsini.
The likely thinking of River? Sergio Romero; Marcelo Weigandt, Facundo Roncaglia, Nicolás Figal, Valentín Barco; Cristian Medina or Ezequiel Fernández or Óscar Romero, Alan Varela, Pol Fernández; Luis Advincula, Luis Vazquez, Sebastian Villa.
