SUN 8/2321:30

Boca is putting the final touches on its preparations to face Racing in Matchday 6 of the Torneo Clausura. Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s side will visit La Academia in Avellaneda with the main goal of taking all 3 points, after securing qualification for the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. However, it won’t be easy at all, as the opponent also badly needs a win to end its poor run.

After their emphatic win over Recoleta in the international competition, the Xeneize must now carry that momentum into domestic play. Racing will be Boca’s next opponent in the Torneo Clausura, this Sunday, August 23 at 9:30 p.m. at the Presidente Perón stadium. It is worth noting that this will be the first interzonal match of the domestic tournament.

Although the team coached by El Vasco comes in riding a major emotional boost from the Sudamericana, beating La Academia away from home will be far from easy. Boca has collected 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 Boca.

The blue-and-gold side’s strategist will still have the task of replacing Paredes, Pellegrino, and Lozano, who are injured. In addition, Di Lollo and Braida will also be unavailable, further limiting the options. While 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 referee in charge on Sunday night at the Cilindro in Avellaneda, while Fernando Echenique will be on VAR duty. The match will be broadcast on ESPN Premium.
