This is why the Boca coach made fewer changes than expected. With first place in its group, Boca will ensure it plays all matches until the final at home, so securing a three-goal victory against the team from Victoria would be vital. However, a draw would suffice since 'Tatengue' would need to win by a 7-goal margin. The coach will finalize the starters during Friday's practice, but for now, Boca would take the field at La Bombonera with the following lineup: Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Nicolás Figal, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Milton Delgado, Leandro Paredes, Ander Herrera, Carlos Palacios, Exequiel Zeballos; Miguel Merentiel. Boca's coach, Claudio Úbeda, began defining the starting lineup during Thursday's training to face Tigre in the final matchday of the Torneo Clausura, next Sunday at 20:15 at La Bombonera. With two changes from the initial formation that secured a 2-0 win against River in the Superclásico, the 'xeneize' coach will seek to end the regular phase of the local championship on a high note and reach the Playoffs with confidence. This way, Úbeda would abandon the double nine and add an extra player to the midfield. Ander Herrera would replace Milton Giménez, while Nicolás Figal would do the same in place of Lautaro Di Lollo. Although the victory over 'Millonario' secured La Ribera's team a spot in the next Copa Libertadores, a defeat against 'Matador' could drop them from the top of Zone A, provided that Unión de Santa Fe wins away against Belgrano - Monday, November 17, starting at 17:00.
