Boca will host Defensa y Justicia, for the 4th date of the Professional League Cup, after having been home in the Nuevo Gasómetro against Sarmiento.
Mouth will receive next Saturday Defense and Justice in La Bombonera, after completing the reseeding tasks that prevented them from playing in their stadium on the second date of the Professional League Cup in view of Sarmiento. Boca began work on La Bombonera after elections that finally took place on December 17 of last year, after the intervention of the Buenos Aires Justice that suspended the elections scheduled for the 3rd of that month due to a complaint filed by the opposition led by Andres Ibarra and Mauricio Macri.
The tents installed on the Bombonera grass so that members could vote in a historic setting were then two weeks longer than scheduled and that damaged the field, which had to be reseeded. Although it was planned to arrive with the work for the beginning of the Professional League Cupthe conditions of the playing field were not optimal to receive Sarmiento last Thursday, so finally the leadership of Mouth made the decision to move the home to the stadium Pedro Bidegain of San Lorenzo.

The decision did not go down well with Boca members and fans, not only because of the change of stadium, but also because of the number of seats available. In total, the Ministry of Security of the City of Buenos Aires enabled 28 thousand places, out of the 47 thousand that the stadium has as capacity, a number considerably lower than the 57 thousand that enter the Bombonera.
The explanations given by the CABA authorities about the number of tickets enabled, in the sense of avoiding crowds and attempts to enter are tickets, were flatly rejected by the leadership of the Ribera club. For this reason, Boca accelerated the work to arrive in conditions to receive this Saturday, at 7:15 p.m., Florencio Varela’s “Halcón” for the fourth date of the contest.
In addition to replanting in the candy box, a renovation of the entrance esplanade through Irala to Aristóbulo del Valle was also carried out, and the bus entrance to the main beach was modernized, which was also modified. Once inside the stadium, the presidential box was dismantled to give more space to the life members and the façade of the box area was painted, which no longer looks blue and white, but blue and gold.
As for football, after the victory against Tiger 2-0 on Monday night, coach Diego Martinez He gave the team a day off, which will return to work tomorrow ahead of the match against Defense and Justice. The DT will follow the evolution of Edinson Cavaniwho retired with physical discomfort from the match against Sarmiento. And although a more serious injury was feared, Martínez himself confirmed that the studies showed “good news” and that “it is not that serious.” “We will evaluate whether Cavani can be available for the match against Defensa,” explained Diego Martínez.
