Mouth Juniors, who claimed victory in their last three games in the Professional League de Fútbol (LPF), will visit tomorrow Arsenal de Sarandí, who runs a serious risk of losing the category, in the outgoing meeting of the two that will start the date 19.
The match will be played this Thursday starting at 9:30 p.m. at the Julio Humberto Grondona stadium, in Arsenal de Sarandí, will be refereed by Leandro Rey Hilfer and televised by TNT Sports.
The “Xeneize” team led by Jorge Almirón has 27 points and has won three consecutive victories in the domestic tournament, against Belgrano de Córdoba (2-0), Argentinos Juniors (1-0) and Tigre (1-0), which improved their location after a slow start.
In any case, he is too far from the leader River (41) and for that reason Almirón will take care of several players who have physical problems, to preserve them with a view to the game next Tuesday at La Bombonera for the Copa Libertadores.
Boca leads Group F together with Deportivo Pereira (both with 7 points) and Tuesday’s match against Colo Colo (5) could give them a pass to the round of 16 if they win it.
His rival, Arsenal, is last in the two tables, the one in the League in which he barely added 14 points and the one in averages, being the great candidate to lose the category.

The moment Sarandí’s team is going through is another of the reasons that led Almirón to consider the possibility of presenting a very different team from the one that beat Tigre on Sunday at La Boca.
In this context, Almirón has decided to put the best available but will take care of those who are in discomfort, while Martín Payero was ruled out with a torn left hamstring.
Thus, those with discomfort are Alan Varela (severe pain in the right ankle due to a possible sprain), Marcelo Weigandt (discomfort in the groin area), the Peruvian Luis Advíncula (trauma to the right leg) and Cristian Medina ( strong blow to the left leg).
All will be evaluated and the decision to put it or not will be made by Almirón, always taking into account the important game on Tuesday against Colo Colo for the Cup.
A separate issue in Boca is that of the Colombian Sebastián Villa, who was not training with the group for having appeared in the courts of Lomas de Zamora for the cause of “gender violence” against his ex-partner Daniela Cortés.
The Colombian will know the verdict next Friday when it is communicated to him by justice, and it will be known if he is guilty or not of the charges against him and, also, if he were, what will be the position that Boca will take as an institution with him.
In any case, Almirón included him in the list of players who will concentrate and it remains to be seen if he will play from the start or leave his place to Norberto Briasco, since he also has physical discomfort.
On the Arsenal side, the new DT Federico Vilar, who made his debut with a defeat in Tucumán against Atlético (1-0) in the final minutes, is confident that he can harm Boca.
“We have to play a very solid game, find spaces. The team has to make Boca uncomfortable and that is what we are working on,” Vilar said.
“Boca is very dangerous no matter how you look at it, but we are working very well,” added the former goalkeeper, who coincidentally trained in Boca’s lower divisions.
As for the record, it is 31 games and favors Boca, who won 17 times against 7 for the Sarandí team, while they tied another 7 times.
