The “xeneize” team directed by Sebastián Battaglia stars in a great semester in which they were crowned League Cup championadvanced to the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, to the same instance in the Copa Argentina and also began the domestic tournament with a victory last week over Arsenal (2-1).
Boca will try to add another three points to maintain the leading role in a tournament that is long and above all because it will have to save players to dose the effort when they have the two hand in hand with Corinthians for the round of 16 of the Libertadores, on June 28 in San Pablo and on July 5 in La Bombonera.
Their rival, Central Córdoba, began their campaign with a draw away against Barracas Central (1-1) and has a team worked by DT Sergio Rondina, who knew how to complicate Boca a lot when they met in the last League Cup .
The record between the two in the first division is just five games, with three victories for Boca, one for Santiago and a draw.
The last time Boca visited Santiago del Estero was on April 23 of this year for Zone B of the League Cup, which they later won, and won 2-1 with two goals scored by Eduardo “Toto” Salvio and a outstanding performance by goalkeeper Javier García, the star of the match.
