Boca will face Lanús in the seventh round of the Torneo Clausura. After drawing against Racing at the Cilindro de Avellaneda, the Xeneize must almost certainly get a win after 3 consecutive draws, and the return to La Bombonera is the best setting to achieve it. El Granate have not been doing well in the domestic competition, which is why it will be a difficult match for Vasco Arruabarrena’s side.
The Ribera side drew once again against Racing away from home in the last Clausura round. The clash against Lanús on matchday 7 of the domestic tournament not only represents another chance to pursue the long-awaited second win, but also the return to La Bombonera after a little more than a month without playing at home. The match will take place this Friday, August 28, starting at 9:30 PM.
Arruabarrena’s men have not played at home at the Alberto J. Armando stadium since July 23, when they faced O’Higgins in the first leg of the Sudamericana playoff. The return comes amid the need to pick up all 3 points and with several absences forcing Vasco to make at least three changes.

With Ayrton Costa’s injury in the match against Racing and Tomás Aranda sidelined due to the fracture he suffered during training, Boca’s coach will have to find their replacements for the clash with El Granate. Lautaro Di Lollo, now fully fit again, is shaping up to start, as is Alan Velasco. In addition, Leandro Paredes returns after being unable to play in the second leg against Recoleta or in the derby against La Academia.
Pablo Dóvalo will be the referee in charge of officiating the Xeneize’s match against Mauricio Pellegrino’s team. Germán Delfino, meanwhile, will oversee VAR, and the game will be broadcast on TNT Sports.
