Boca Juniors welcomes Racing Club de Avellaneda to La Bombonera for the tenth matchday of the Professional League Cup, in a match corresponding to Zone B. Pablo Echavarría will be the referee, with Germán Delfino assisting from VAR. The game will begin at 9.30pm, broadcast on TNT Sports TV.
This new edition of the classic between Xeneize and Academia finds both teams in need of points, slightly relegated in the standings to the next stage, so it’s a final for the rest of the tournament.
Boca had shown signs of improvement against River at the Monumental and against Belgrano at home, the afternoon when Edinson Cavani broke his drought by scoring three goals against Pirata. It all came crashing down this week when he visited Unión and not only left a very pale image, but ultimately lost it.
Chiquito Romero and Nicolás Figal will be unavailable due to injuries, absences that are added to those of the two Fernández, Equi and Pol, all names who would be starters under the attention of coach Diego Martínez.
Academy had better games than Xeneize in the tournament, with wins and a win in the classic against Independiente making them one of the favorites to make the playoffs. However, his weak performance at home, which emerged in the last round when he lost to Sarmiento de Junín, left him complicated in the standings.
