Barracas Central vs Boca, edited by the Professional Soccer League: schedule, how to watch it and possible lineups

Boca Juniorswho went through a hectic week after the sacking of his DT Hugo Ibarra, the refusal of Gerardo Martino di Rosario to succeed him and the confirmation of Mariano Herrón as interim coach, visits central barracks for the ninth round of the Professional Soccer League (LPF), with the mission to recover after two consecutive defeats.

The match will be played from 15:30 at the Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia Stadium, in Barracas Central, will be refereed by Yael Falcón Pérez and broadcast by ESPN Premium.

Although Boca are the current champions of Argentine football, their lean season in the current tournament, with just 11 points and two defeats in a row, against Banfield (1-0) and Instituto de Córdoba (3-2), has accelerated the times and “Negro” Ibarra was sacked 15 days after winning the Argentine Super Cup.

That title obtained in the Chaco at the expense of the board, added to the previous one in the national tournament, was not enough for Ibarra to remain in office and two negative results plus a low level of play were a cocktail that led to his expulsion.

The Football Council made up of four former players of the club, the Colombians Jorge Bermúdez and Mauricio Serna, plus Marcelo Delgado and Raúl Cascini, has entered into a dialogue with “Tata” Martino with the consent of the one who decides in the Boca football area, the second vice president Juan Román Riquelme, but the talks were very brief and Rosario’s resounding no sowed a blanket of doubts.

It is that beyond the match against Barracas that will take on with Herrón, the DT of the Reserve division, Boca will debut in the Copa Libertadores next Thursday as a guest of the Monagas of Venezuela, in the first Group F match that they will assume under unfavorable conditions.

His rival, led by Rodolfo De Paoli, added 8 points and went three games without a win, with a defeat against Newell’s and two draws, against Independiente and Atlético Tucumán, but he is aware that it is the perfect time to deal another blow to Mouth .

History-wise, they have played five times and Boca have won them all, most recently on 19 June last year when they won 3-1 as visitors at the All Boys pitch with goals from Villa, “Pol” Fernández and Santiago’s man Exequiel Zeballos.
