The “Xeneize” team is the protagonist in the three fronts in which it competes, the League Cup, the Libertadores Cup and the Argentine Cup, although certain ups and downs in the results complicated some plans of coach Sebastián Battaglia.
In that sense, the DT will put the best available to receive Barracas Central, including the recovered captain Carlos Izquierdoz, because he needs to secure his round pass and will also seek to win in La Boca, since the only win as a local achieved when they received Central in Liniers, on the Vélez field, by 2 to 1.
Battaglia will include the starters to define a zone in which Estudiantes de La Plata, leader with 25 points, have already qualified, followed by Boca (21), Tigre and Aldosivi, both with 20 points, and further behind Colón along with Barracas Central with 16, plus Hurricane with 15.
A victory will leave Boca classified and with a clear outlook for next Wednesday in a key stop, which will take place in La Paz against Always Ready for the fourth date of Group E, which was complicated by the defeat suffered during the week in Brazil against Corinthians 2-0.
The “copero” group was led by Corinthians with 6 points, followed by Deportivo Cali and Always Ready with 4 and Boca closes with 3, satisfied by last night’s tie between Bolivians and Colombians at the height of La Paz, located at 3,600 meters above sea level.
On the Barracas Central side, although mathematically he has chances, he knows that he does not depend on himself and regrets the tie against Vélez (1-1) the previous day in a match that was almost resolved.
The team led by Alfredo Jesús Berti will try to take advantage of Boca’s physical exhaustion, which with tomorrow’s will have played six games in the last 18 days, since April 12 against Always Ready, then Lanús, Godoy Cruz, Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero, Corinthians and Barracas Central.
The record between the two is four games and Boca won all of them, although they have not faced each other for 92 years, since November 23, 1930.
Boca beat him for the first time in the 1927 Championship by 4-0, then in 1928 by 6-0, later in 1929 by 5-1 and the aforementioned 1930 by 2-0, on the Huracán field.
