In defense, Advíncula, Figal, Alarcón, and Blanco are expected to be starters, while Delgado, Barinaga, and Di Lollo appear as alternatives. In midfield, Leandro Paredes will be the team's anchor, accompanied by Tomás Belmonte and Kevin Zenón, who provide deployment and dynamism. Palacios and Giménez will add freshness, while Pellegrino could take on a tactical or holding role depending on the game's development. In attack, the "Blue and Gold" are once again led by Merentiel, while Janson, Zeballos, and Braida offer various offensive options to change the game's pace. With this squad, Úbeda will attempt to balance solidity and efficiency, relying on Paredes' leadership, Zenón's creativity, and Cavani's hierarchy to face a Superclásico that promises a fired-up La Bombonera.

Head Coach: Claudio Úbeda
Just one day before the Superclásico, Boca Juniors confirmed the list of 24 players who will be present at La Bombonera. Head coach Claudio Úbeda decided to call up Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, who has not played a match with Boca's jersey since the 1-1 draw against Rosario Central on September 14. Regarding the goalkeeping position, the coach opted for a triple call-up: Agustín Marchesín, Leandro Brey, and Javier García. Despite the variety, it is most likely that the former Lanús goalkeeper will keep the starting role, although Brey could have the chance to return to the "Xeneize" goal. The rest of Boca Juniors' squad combines experience, hierarchy, and youth, allowing the coach to have various tactical options for the Superclásico.
