Boca Juniors knocked Talleres de Córdoba out of the Round of 16 of the 2025 Torneo Clausura with a 2-0 victory and is now focusing on the match against Argentinos Juniors, aiming for another win to get closer to the title. According to the Argentine News Agency, the 'Xeneize' had a day off on Monday and resumed training on Tuesday ahead of the duel with 'Bicho' in the quarter-finals of the local championship. As all players who took to the field at La Bombonera against 'T' last Sunday are in optimal condition, it is very likely that head coach Claudio Úbeda will repeat the same team that secured the win. Regular midfielder Rodrigo Battaglia, who is usually part of La Ribera's scheme when at 100%, returned to playing minutes against the team led by Carlos Tévez, but recent performances by young Milton Delgado appear to have pushed him to the bench. Additionally, Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani (who played against Tigre and Talleres) continues to recover steadily and is gradually returning to competition. However, like the 34-year-old midfielder, the Uruguayan has lost ground in the coach's considerations due to the good form of Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez and will have to reclaim his place in the starting eleven. In the absence of official confirmation of the date and time for the match between Boca and Argentinos Juniors, Úbeda plans to decide closer to the end of the week whether he will finally start with the same lineup or look to add an extra midfielder thanks to the good ball control of the team led by Nicolás Diez.
