The Xeneize will be presented on the Viaduct for the championship, but with the sights set on the decisive meeting with Colo Colo next Tuesday.
Boca seems to have set the course in the Professional League Tournament after the defeat in the Superclásico. And while in La Ribera they know that the chances of fighting for the title are virtually non-existent, the goal is to add the most points in anticipation of finishing as high as possible in the championship.
For now, with the 1-0 win over Tigre last weekend, Xeneize added their third win in a row in the game and River has discounted five points from their last nine points. Now, looking for another win, in one of the games opening the 19th round, Boca will visit Arsenal at the Viaduct this Thursday, June 1, from 9:30 p.m.
THE CALLED OF MOUTH VS. ARSENAL
For the match in Sarandí, Jorge Almirón will not be able to count on Pol Fernández, who suffered a slight tear in his right quadriceps against Tigre and will be out for at least two weeks. The other who will not be there yet is Marcos Rojo, who will make minutes in the Reserve against Ass this Wednesday before making his permanent return to the first team.
On the other hand, Sebastián Villa is the one who could face his last game with blue and gold, who will know the verdict the morning after the meeting in Avellaneda in the trial that awaits him for gender violence against his ex-partner : in in the event that the club is found guilty, it can finally activate the current protocol and take disciplinary action against the Colombian.
THE FORMATION OF THE MOUTH VS. ARSENAL
The game against Federico Vilar’s team comes to Xeneize just before facing Colo Colo next Tuesday in the match that can ensure their qualification for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. For this reason, the coach will certainly take the opportunity to rest many of the starters and present a completely different team than the one that played against Matador on Sunday.
Of those who have regularly been part of the starting eleven, the only two who seem to have secured their place are Sergio Romero and Martín Payero, who were already rested this weekend. Meanwhile, Miguel Merendiel could continue the attack because DT’s idea is that Darío Benedetto is the one playing against the Cacique.
As for the others who were able to play from the start, names such as Agustín Sández, Nicolás Valentini, Esteban Rolón and Norberto Briasco appear. When the technician orders a formal test, there are at least more certainties.
