Arruabarrena shuffles Boca’s pack for Newell’s and tough run | OneFootball

they visit Newell’s Old Boys this Sunday aiming to bounce back after the heavy defeat suffered against Deportivo Riestra in their Torneo Clausura debut. Despite securing a hard-fought qualification for the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana against O’Higgins, the team’s performance raised doubts. For this reason, and with the start of a run of seven matches in a month ahead, coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena decided to make moderate changes to protect the squad’s fitness.

Three changes and a tactical switch

The coaching staff will make three specific changes to the starting lineup to face La Lepra. Dylan Gorosito will play at right back in place of Leandro Lozano, while Lautaro Di Lollo will return to central defense for Nicolás Figal. In midfield, Leonel Flores will replace Milton Delgado to give him some rest, a move that will also alter the team’s tactical setup. Meanwhile, captain Leandro Paredes will remain in the starting eleven despite the accumulated fatigue after the World Cup.

Lineup and match details

The confirmed Xeneize lineup at the Marcelo Bielsa Stadium will be made up of Álvaro Montero, Dylan Gorosito, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Malcom Braida, Santiago Ascacíbar, Leandro Paredes, Leonel Flores, Tomás Aranda, Sebastián Villa, and Miguel Merentiel.
