Boca Juniors Faces Unión de Santa Fe in Apertura

This Wednesday, Boca will visit Unión de Santa Fe as part of the third round of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League. The match will take place at the Estadio 15 de Abril at 19:15, under the refereeing of Pablo Echavarría and with transmission on ESPN Premium.

The most notable news is the absence of Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera from Boca's lineup due to a grade 2 right hamstring injury. Herrera is expected to miss a few matches and will likely be replaced by the Chilean Williams Alarcón, a recent signing for the team.

After a goalless draw in the first round against Argentinos Juniors, Boca will approach this match with changes in their lineup. Meanwhile, Unión de Santa Fe will look to recover after a defeat in the first round against Estudiantes de La Plata.

Led by Cristian "Kiy" González, Unión will try to get back on track against a Boca team that also wants to earn three points. The possible lineups for the match include Thiago Cardozo, Claudio Corvalán, Franco Pardo, Nicolás Paz, Francisco Gerometta; Mateo del Blanco, Mauro Pittón, Mauricio Martínez, Ezequiel Ham; Jerónimo Domina and Franco Fragapane for Unión, and Leandro Brey, Lucas Blondel, Rodrigo Battaglia, Ayrton Costa, Marcelo Saracchi; Williams Alarcón, Camilo Rey, Kevin Zenón, Carlos Palacios, Exequiel Zeballos; Miguel Merentiel for Boca.
