Boca Juniors Set to Face Aldosivi in Apertura Clash

Next Saturday, Boca Juniors will face Aldosivi at La Bombonera, as part of the seventh round of the Torneo Apertura. The Argentine team aims to overcome the defeat suffered against Alianza Lima in the Copa Libertadores and is looking for a victory to renew the hopes of its supporters in the international tournament.

After the setback in Peru, Boca hopes to change its negative image before its fans and consolidate its gameplay to advance in the Copa Libertadores. In the local league, the team has accumulated two consecutive victories against Independiente Rivadavia and Banfield, totaling 11 points and occupying the sixth position in Zone A.

Coach Fernando Gago plans to make adjustments in the lineup for the match against Aldosivi, highlighting possible inclusions of Lucas Janson, Milton Giménez, and Ezequiel "El Changuito" Zeballos in the attack. Additionally, the return of Ander Herrera and Marcos Rojo to the starting eleven is expected, provided they successfully complete the training sessions.

On the other hand, Aldosivi has not had a good start in its return to the Argentine Primera División, having only earned one point in the draw against Estudiantes de La Plata and accumulating five consecutive defeats. A victory against Boca would mean a significant boost for the team, which seeks to establish itself in the top flight after two years in the Primera Nacional.

The possible lineups and other relevant details of the match are as follows:

**Boca**: Agustín Marchesín; Luis Advíncula, Lautaro di Lollo, Mateo Mendia or Marcos Rojo, Frank Fabra; Milton Delgado or Ander Herrera, Rodrigo Battaglia, Williams Alarcón; Lucas Janson, Milton Giménez, and Ezequiel Zeballos. Coach: Fernando Gago.

**Aldosivi**: Williams Barlasina; Rodrigo González, Néstor Breitenbruch, Gonzalo Mottes, Ignacio Guerrico, Giuliano Cerato, Marcelo Esponda, Tobías Leiva, Ayrton Preciado; Elías Torres and Alexis Domínguez. Coach: Andrés Yllana.

The match will take place at 19:30 hours, officiated by Leandro Rey Hilfer with VAR assistance provided by Mauro Vigliano. The broadcast will be by TNT Sports, allowing fans to follow the development of this important clash in Argentine football.
