On Friday, Boca will visit Banfield at the Florencio Sola stadium at 8 PM, as part of the sixth round of the 2025 Apertura Tournament in Zone A. The team will look to maintain its winning streak after the last victory at the Bombonera.
The probable lineups are as follows: Boca with Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Rodrigo Battaglia, Ayrton Costa, Marcelo Saracchi; Williams Alarcón, Camilo Rey Domenech, Alan Velasco; Miguel Merentiel, Miltón Giménez, Exequiel Zeballos. On the other hand, Banfield will present with Facundo Sanguinetti; Brandon Zacarias Oviedo, Alexis Maldonado, Joaquín Pombo, Mathias De Ritis; Santiago López García, Martín Río, Lautaro Nicolás Ríos, Gonzalo Ríos; Juan Bisanz and Agustín Alaniz, under the technical direction of Fernando Gago.
A good piece of news for Boca is that Carlos Palacios is back after his hospitalization. Regarding the match against Alianza Lima for the Copa Libertadores, changes in the starting lineup are expected and the team remains a mystery. Boca is in ninth position with eight points, looking to rise in the table.
Meanwhile, Banfield comes off a defeat and its president has expressed criticisms towards the AFA and the refereeing. After a good start to the season, the southern team has had inconsistent performances. The match will be covered by ESPN Premium.
Fernando Gago, Boca's coach, faces challenges as he cannot count on several key players due to injuries. Edinson Cavani, Ander Herrera, Marcos Rojo, Tomás Belmonte, Cristian Lema, and Frank Fabra will be absent. With the team and tactical system in constant evolution, Gago is looking to find the ideal formation to face the challenges ahead.
