Boca is putting the finishing touches on its preparations to face Racing on Matchday 6 of the Torneo Clausura. Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s side will visit La Academia in Avellaneda with the main objective of taking all 3 points, after securing qualification for the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. However, it will not be easy at all, since the opponent also badly needs a win to end its poor run.
After cruising to a big win over Recoleta in the international competition, the Xeneize must now carry that momentum into domestic action. Racing will be the next opponent for the team from La Ribera in the Torneo Clausura, this Sunday, August 23, starting at 9:30 p.m. at Presidente Perón Stadium. It is worth noting that this will be the first interzonal match of the domestic championship.
Although the team coached by El Vasco comes in with a major morale boost from the Sudamericana, beating La Academia away from home will be far from easy. Boca has collected a total of 6 points from 5 matches played, with 3 draws, 1 win, and 1 loss. Meanwhile, the Avellaneda side is on a run of three straight defeats and will look to get back to winning ways against the team from La Ribera.

The blue-and-gold team’s strategist will still have the task of replacing Paredes, Pellegrino, and Lozano, who are injured. In addition, Di Lollo and Braida will also not be available, so the options are reduced even further. Although he is expected to keep most of the starters from the last match against Recoleta, Flores has a strong chance of returning to the starting eleven in place of Villa.
Nicolás Ramírez will be the man in charge of officiating on Sunday night at El Cilindro in Avellaneda, while Fernando Echenique will be on VAR duty. The match will be broadcast on ESPN Premium.
