Boca Juniors has returned to its home stadium, La Bombonera, after a successful Superclásico victory.

Boca’s Lineup Tested by Úbeda at La Bombonera

As Boca Juniors aims to solidify its position in Zona A, Úbeda made some notable midfield changes in the starting eleven. Among these changes was the inclusion of Ander Herrera, who has been performing well and gaining continuity within the squad.

Key Adjustments in the Starting Eleven

• Positioning: Herrera will now alternate roles in the midfield.
• Milton Giménez has been replaced due to suspension risk, having accumulated four yellow cards.
• Leandro Paredes, despite a calf strain, is set to start.

This tactical shift sees Herrera join Palacios, Paredes, and Delgado in midfield, while Zeballos will move to a forward position alongside Merentiel. This change aims to enhance Boca’s attacking strategies, leaning on the successful pairing observed during the second goal against River.

Defensive Adjustments

On the defensive end, Nicolás Figal will replace Di Lollo, who is suspended after receiving his fifth yellow card. Figal is a logical choice, allowing Boca to maintain a balanced defensive structure without having two left-footed defenders amidst the roster.

Boca Juniors will enter the match against Tigre with a lineup that reflects both strategic foresight and an intention to build on recent successes. As the team finalizes preparations, fans eagerly await the opportunity to support them at La Bombonera.
