Boca comes from beating Sportivo Trinidense in Paraguay by 2 to 1, a result that helped pave the way in the competition, since an adverse score would have forced them to depend on other teams to advance, at least, to the 16th of final.
Coach Diego Martínez will appeal to his best players for the match, while he will evaluate midfielder Kevin Zenón, who has just been left out of the substitute bench in his debut in the Professional League and, for the moment, remains a mystery due to an inconvenience. physical.
Although the former Unión de Santa Fe player wants to be in this commitment, the truth is that the coaching staff will wait for him until the last minute, as they are awaiting the results of the studies to confirm if it is just an annoyance or if he has an injury.
In case the 22-year-old footballer does not arrive in good condition, the one who is emerging to take his place is the youth Jabes Salaralegui, who will complete the Boca midfield that will see the return of Guillermo “Pol” Fernández for Milton Delgado.
In addition, the other important names that will join Boca’s starting lineup are Cristian Lema, who was not against Atlético Tucumán due to being sent off against Estudiantes de La Plata, and Edinson Cavani, who recovered from muscle overload.
The aforementioned footballers will replace Lautaro Di Lollo and Luca Langoni, respectively.
For its part, Fortaleza has just lost surprisingly against Nacional Potosí by 4 to 1 and put first place in the group at risk, therefore it will seek to obtain a victory that will allow it to secure a place in the round of 16.
