The “cup” group is led by Corinthians, from Brazil, with 6 points, followed by Deportivo Cali, from Colombia, and Always Ready, with 4, and Boca closes with 3 units as a result of one win and two losses.
At the same time that Always Ready and Boca will face each other tomorrow in Colombia, Cali and Corinthians, with the arbitration of the Uruguayan Andrés Cunha.
The “Xeneize” team entered a dangerous terrain with the defeats in Cali and San Pablo, because it was left with only one win at home against the Bolivians and for that reason it is imperative that it get a positive result, either a victory or in failing a tie in La Paz, to continue with chances of advancing to the round of 16.
After playing in Bolivia, the team led by Sebastián Battaglia will play on Tuesday, May 17, against Corinthians and on Thursday, May 26, against Cali, both matches at La Bombonera.
The formation of the team to play against Always Ready will suffer losses due to suspensions from the previous Cup, those of Marcos Rojo, Carlos Izquierdoz and Sebastián Villa, plus one from this edition, that of the scorer Darío “Pipa” Benedetto, who accumulated his third against Corinthians yellow card and must be out one date.
In this context, Battaglia will not be able to repeat his ideal formation, the one he likes the most, and in relation to last Saturday’s victory over Barracas Central (2-0) for the domestic tournament there will be four changes.
Agustín Rossi will reappear in the goal, who left behind a tear in his right adductor and will replace Javier García, who had very good performances when he had to tackle, in defense Nicolás Figal will replace Izquierdoz and in the forward line will be Eduardo “Toto” Salvio and Luis Vazquez by Benedetto and Villa.
The other unknowns of the coach were in the midfield, with the strategist Guillermo “Pol” Fernández and Alan Varela defined as starters and three names for the other two places: Cristian Medina, Juan Ramírez and Oscar Romero.
Finally, Ramírez and the Paraguayan Romero will play as Battaglia decided with the intention of playing in search of a victory with two players who contribute more in attack, compared to Medina who fulfills both tasks.
The “Xeneize” squad will arrive in La Paz just five or six hours before the match (it will spend the night in Santa Cruz de la Sierra) with the intention of mitigating the effects of the altitude.
Boca will try to obtain a result that will surely require a great physical effort from a squad that in Bolivia will reach seven games in the last 20 days between the local tournament and the Libertadores.
On the Always Ready side, the Cup began with a very good victory over Corinthians in La Paz, then fell to Boca and finally tied again at home against Cali.
The Bolivian team will also suffer losses, those of Alejandro Chumacero, a midfielder with a very good punch, who suffered a tear, and in the same sector Adrián Arce suffers from a strong contracture and could miss the game.
The team’s coach, Eduardo Villegas, rehearsed with Gustavo Torres, with more offensive characteristics, for Chumacero, while Josué Mamaní and Diego Medina will replace Arce.
When do Always Ready vs. Boca play?
The match will be played from 9:00 p.m. at the Hernando Siles stadium, in La Paz, and will be refereed by the Peruvian Kevin Ortega.
