Next Sunday, Boca will play against Defensa y Justicia at La Bombonera for the tenth round of the 2025 Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League. Boca's goal is to achieve its sixth consecutive victory in the tournament. The match will start at 18:15 and will be refereed by Pablo Dóvalo.
Boca comes into this match in a good moment, despite the elimination in the Copa Libertadores. Fernando Gago's team has won its last five matches in the Apertura Tournament and is currently in third place in Zone A with 20 points. The injury absence of midfielder Ander Herrera is bad news for Gago. On the other hand, Defensa y Justicia has won its last two matches and will seek to earn points to get closer to Boca in the standings.
The probable lineups for the match are as follows: - Boca: Agustín Marchesín; Lucas Blondel, Lautaro Di Lollo, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco; Milton Delgado, Williams Alarcón or Tomás Belmonte, Kevin Zenón; Carlos Palacios; Milton Giménez and Edinson Cavani. Coach: Fernando Gago. - Defensa y Justicia: Enrique Bologna; Alexis Soto, Emanuel Aguilera, Lucas Ferreira, Ezequiel Cannavo; Kevin Gutiérrez, César Pérez; Aaron Molinas, Matías Miranda, Gastón Togni; Abiel Osorio. Coach: Pablo de Muner.
Despite the injuries, Boca will have Alarcón, Belmonte, and Battaglia, who are all at 100% physically. Meanwhile, Defensa y Justicia is in sixth place in Zone A with 17 points, in playoff zone in the Apertura Tournament, also demonstrating a good performance at the start of the season.
