Boca Juniors will face Paraguayan Olimpia this Sunday in a friendly match that will mark the end of the pre-season before the start of the Apertura tournament. The match will kick off at 21:00 at the Estadio Único de San Nicolás, which has a capacity for 25,000 spectators, and will be available on Disney+. Boca arrives at this match in the final stretch of its pre-season and during a transfer window that borders on a fiasco, as it has still not been able to close any signings. The player closest to joining 'Xeneize' is Colombian winger Marino Hinestroza, who, after several back-and-forth discussions between Boca and Atlético Nacional, is reportedly ready to finally sign with the La Ribera club. Another player in which Boca's management has shown interest in recent days is forward Ezequiel 'Chimy' Ávila, although he is currently at Betis in Spain and his departure from that institution is very complicated. This will be Boca's second pre-season match, which last Wednesday drew a goalless in a poor friendly against Colombian Millonarios, where they paid tribute to the historic head coach Miguel Ángel Russo, who passed away a few months ago. According to Agencia Noticias Argentinas, Boca's head coach, Claudio Úbeda, already has the starting eleven defined for the match. In goal will be Agustín Marchesín, while in defense, Juan Barinaga, Lautaro di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, and Lautaro Blanco will be present. In the middle of the field, the starters would be Spanish Ander Herrera, Leandro Paredes, and Milton Delgado. Finally, the forward line would be composed of Brian Aguirre, Miguel Merentiel, and Exequiel 'Changuito' Zeballos, the latter of an extremely high level by the end of 2025.
