Boca Juniorswith the return of the Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani among those called up, visit this Sunday in tone Lanus, for the sixth day of zone B of the Professional Football League (LPF) Cup. The match will be played starting at 9.30pm, at the Ciudad de Lanús stadium, with refereeing by Silvio Trucco on the pitch and Germán Delfino at VAR. The broadcast is carried by ESPN Premium.
Edinson Cavani’s return to the team, with the mission of giving him minutes before the Superclásico, will put the debate back on the table: is the Uruguayan at the expected level with only three goals since his arrival at the club?
Moreover, the footballer himself has repeatedly stated on social media that he is not interested in what is said and he also made it clear in a video that went viral when a fan brought him a photo after a bad match with Sarmiento, in which he failed three clear situations.
The players involved in the Under 23 Olympic Qualifiers also appeared among those called up, having already returned with qualification for Paris 2024, but in principle Nicolás Valentini will not start, while Ezequiel Fernández and Cristian Medina would be starters.
In between, Boca (9 points) has significantly improved its level of play compared to the start of the championship, in which it drew with two weak rivals such as Platense (0-0, to Vicente López) and Sarmiento de Junín (1 -1, in the New Gasometer).
On the opposite side there will be the complicated Lanús (9) of Ricardo Zielinski, a courageous team that handles the ball well when it passes between the feet of the Uruguayan Luciano Boggio – who scored in the recent victory against Sarmiento (1-0) – and Felipe Peña Biafore .
From these two names was born the construction of a game that fuels Leandro Díaz and Walter Bou. And he also has the speed of Marcelino Moreno, fundamental against Platense (3-0, at home) in the fourth match.
With these tools, Lanús will try to face the “Xeneize” and continue to rise in the average – it is two points from Unión but Riestra is last with another division of points and matches for having recently been promoted – and stay in the fight to access the quarter-finals. of the Cup.
