Xeneize’s schedule remains packed as the team, fresh from a major triumph, prepares to face a top contender.
Last week brought Boca Juniors a surge of joy. Beyond beating Vélez at home by a narrow margin, the club claimed the Argentine Super Cup against Patronato, with Benedetto netting three times. Equally notable were Ibarra’s team performances as they climbed to sixth in the league standings. Their next challenge is a clash with a leading side, Defense and Justice, who sit just ahead in the table with twelve points.
For the sixth round of the Binance League Tournament 2023, Boca Juniors will welcome Huracán to the Alberto J. Armando stadium. The match is scheduled for Monday, March 6, starting at 9:00 p.m. local time. (Goal)
THE CALLED OF MOUTH
From the squad that faced Vélez in the last match, one name will be unavailable. Ezequiel Fernández will not be present due to a one-match suspension. (Goal)
Fernández joins two long-term absentees: Red Frames and Exequiel Zeballos. The defender is still in recovery from knee surgery following a torn cruciate ligament, while Zeballos is sidelined with an external meniscus injury. The former Estudiantes player isn’t expected back until the second half of the season, with the youth squad possibly returning in April. (Goal)
THE FORMATION OF THE MOUTH
The opening win in Santiago del Estero left no doubt: Boca played one of its best performances of the year. As a result, Ibarra is likely to keep changes minimal, only addressing what is necessary.
Between the posts, Sergio Romero returns after stepping aside in the Super Cup clash against Javier García. In defense, a single alteration is anticipated: Bruno Valdez re-entering central defense, with Facundo Roncaglia moving aside.
Midfield sees a reshuffle prompted by a suspension: Equi Fernández will be replaced by Pol Fernández.
Up front, Boca’s attack is where competition is fiercest. Strong showings from Michael Merentiel, paired with Luca Langoni, have given the coaching staff plenty to consider. The recent standout performances helped Benedetto reclaim a starting role after his hat-trick, reinforcing his status as a key option for the frontline.
Projected starting XI: Sergio Romero; Luis Advíncula, Bruno Valdez, Nicolás Figal, Frank Fabra; Pol Fernández, Alan Varela, Óscar Romero; Luca Langoni, Sebastián Villa, Dario Benedetto. (Goal)
