Boca Juniors head coach Claudio Úbeda has defined the starting lineup to face Newell's Old Boys at La Bombonera, starting at 19:15. The match will feature the notable debut of Santiago Ascacibar and a surprise start for young forward Gonzalo Gelini.
Reports indicate the coach will give the opportunity to the 'Ruso', who will partner in midfield with Leandro Paredes and Ander Herrera. The Spanish midfielder aims to dominate possession alongside his new teammates.
With key strikers like Edinson Cavani and Miguel Merentiel out due to injury, Úbeda is betting on youth in attack. The line is expected to feature Exequiel Zeballos, Iker Zufiaurre, and the surprise inclusion, 19-year-old Gelini, who impressed in his previous brief appearance. Paraguayan Ángel Romero will start on the bench but is likely to see minutes if needed.
