Boca face stern test at Gimnasia de Mendoza in Clausura | OneFootball

Boca visit Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza on Saturday in Zone A of the Torneo Clausura, seeking a win to consolidate their play-off position.

According to SuperDepor.com, kick-off is at 16:30 at the Estadio Víctor Antonio Legrotaglie, with ESPN Premium broadcasting. Darío Herrera referees, with Silvio Trucco on VAR.

Boca arrive after a hard-fought Copa Argentina quarter-final berth sealed on penalties against Vélez. In that tie, Vélez missed a spot-kick at 47 minutes of the second half. In the Clausura, Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s side beat Lanús 1-0 last time out to move into the play-off places, though any slip could complicate matters.

With a Copa Sudamericana quarter-final first leg against San Pablo of Brazil in a few days, Arruabarrena could field an alternative XI to rest regular starters.

Gimnasia are one of the stories of the campaign, sitting second in Zone A on 15 points after a 3-0 away win at Independiente.

Even so, Darío Franco’s team have lost Agustín Módica to a muscular injury for this match, and he is the Clausura’s leading scorer with eight goals.
