Boca Juniors will host Huracán this Sunday in a match corresponding to the third round of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League. The match will take place at the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, known as 'La Bombonera', and will be officiated by Silvio Trucco. Boca's goal is to achieve their first victory in the tournament and climb the standings.
Boca's team has started this competition with two draws, 0-0 against Argentinos Juniors and 1-1 against Unión, so they need to start earning three points to get closer to the leaders of Group A. For this match, head coach Fernando Gago faces uncertainties in the starting lineup, especially in goalkeeping and right back.
On the other hand, Huracán had a modest start in the tournament after being one of the protagonists in the previous edition. The team led by Frank Kudelka will look to earn three points against Boca to avoid complicating their qualification for the knockout stage, even though the competition is still in its early rounds.
The possible lineups for the match are as follows:
Boca Juniors: - Goalkeeper: Leandro Brey or Agustín Marchesín - Defenders: Luis Advíncula or Lucas Blondel, Rodrigo Battaglia, Ayrton Costa, Marcelo Saracchi - Midfielders: Williams Alarcón, Tomás Belmonte, Carlos Palacios, Alan Velasco - Forwards: Exequiel Zeballos and Edinson Cavani
Huracán: - Goalkeeper: Hernán Galíndez - Defenders: César Ibáñez, Marco Pellegrino, Fabio Pereyra, Tomás Guidara - Midfielders: Leonardo Gil, Leonel Pérez, Franco Watson, Gabriel Alanís, Walter Mazzantti - Forward: Erik Ramírez
The match will take place at La Bombonera and will be broadcasted on ESPN Premium at 19:15. The VAR will be supervised by Mauro Vigliano. An exciting encounter is expected between both teams in search of points and to climb the tournament standings.
