On Sunday, Boca will face Tigre in a crucial match of the sixteenth round of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League. The team will seek to secure the top spot in Zone A with a win at the José Dellagiovanna stadium at 6 PM, officiated by Facundo Tello.
After a tumultuous week that included Fernando Gago's resignation as coach following the defeat against River in the Superclásico, Mariano Herrón finds himself in a new interim position at the helm of the team. With 32 points, Boca maintains the possibility of leading Zone A if they earn three points against Tigre.
Despite Gago's departure and the recent loss, Boca remains firmly in the fight for the top of their group, although a draw would not be enough to surpass Argentinos Juniors in the table. The inclusion of Alan Velasco in the starting eleven is one of the changes expected in Herrón's lineup.
On their side, Tigre is sixth in the table with 26 points and needs a good result to position themselves higher and secure home advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Under the direction of Diego Dabove, the team will look to get back to winning ways after a streak of four games without a win.
The probable lineups for the match include Felipe Zenobio; Martín Ortega, Joaquín Laso, Nehuén Paz, Nahuel Benegas; Santiago González, Lorenzo Scipioni, Jabes Saralegui, Sebastián Medina; Blas Armoa and Ignacio Russo for Tigre, while Boca could line up with Agustín Marchesín; Luis Advíncula, Rodrigo Battaglia, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco; Tomás Belmonte, Milton Delgado, Kevin Zenón; Alan Velasco, Carlos Palacios, and Miguel Merentiel, according to Herrón.
