Defense and Justice vs Boca, by the Professional Football League: schedule, TV and formations

Boca Juniorswhich is going through a disappointing second half in terms of play and results, after the good performances shown in the first six months of the year, visits Defense and Justice in a game valid on the 15th of Professional League.

The match will be played this Sunday starting at 20:30 at the Defense and Justice stadium of Florencio Varela, will be refereed by Silvio Trucco and broadcast by TNT Sport.

The “Xeneize” team have 20 points in the national tournament, nine less than the Atlético leader Tucumán (29) and have drawn in the last two presentations, against Racing Club and Rosario Central, in both cases zero to zero and with the goalkeeper Agustín Rossi as an exclusive figure.

Defense and Justice, on the other hand, with 15 units and a series of four unsuccessful presentations, with two draws and two defeats, the last against Barracas Central (3-1), is in the last segment of Sebastián Beccacece’s cycle as DT , since he announced he will leave the club at the end of the year.

In Boca, the weeks without wins and with disappointing performances have led to fixing the focus of attention on the actions of Vice President Juan Román Riquelme and his Football Council made up of former players of the club who decide the course of football with more mistakes than successes.

The league cup title obtained last May was far in time, the subsequent elimination of the Copa Libertadores in the round of 16 against Corinthians and what followed, the expulsion of DT Sebastián Battaglia, the traumatic departure of captain Carlos Izquierdoz and the lack of reinforcements were at the forefront of Boca’s agenda.

The appointment of Hugo Ibarra as DT until the end of the year, far from providing peace of mind, has generated more confusion, as the team does not find its way, the poor results accumulate and in Boca the problems are the future manager and the next transfer market, all this with almost half a championship to play, in addition to the Argentine Cup in which he defends the championship and is in the quarter-finals.

After the lack of performance against Central on Wednesday night, in which only goalkeeper Rossi was saved, the coach will try to touch up the team with the mission of finding a way to work, even if Boca de Ibarra depends almost exclusively on arrests individuals, especially the Colombian Sebastiano Villa.

To visit Defense and Justice, the “Xeneize” team will modify its defense, in which Colombian Frank Fabra will not be present due to the accumulation of warnings, which will motivate the entry of Nicolás Figal in the rear and Agustín Sandez to move to the left side, after serving as central second against Rosario.

Paraguayan Oscar Romero will also appear in midfield and in his place Juan Ramírez, while Luis Vázquez of Santa Fe will continue as a striker alongside Villa despite not scoring goals in the league and that in the last training Ibarra tried with Nicolás Orsini instead.

Their rival, Defensa y Justicia, will present a forced change since defender Gabriel Alanís was sent off against Barracas Central and will leave his place to Alexis Soto, while in midfield Beccacece has not yet defined whether he will keep Brian Cuello or join his place. the Uruguayan Fabricio Dominguez.

The intention of Varela’s “Halcón” is to take advantage of Boca’s bad moment to hit him with another blow and generate more doubts, just four dates from the Superclásico.

In Boca the goal is to improve performance, keep the three points and increase performance to better face the upcoming matches, which will be against the Atlético leader Tucumán at home, then against Colón in Santa Fe and then the Superclásico in La Bombonera that will surely define the future of DT and several players who are targeted for their poor performance.

In Boca the intention is to have defender Marcos Rojo ready for next week, who left a muscle injury that prevented him from playing against Patronato, Platense, Racing and Central, who conspired against the team as captain and player of multiple campus hierarchy.

The story between the two is eight games, with five wins for Boca, two draws and only one for Defense and Justice.
