After the big win in Mendoza, Boca wants to continue on the path of victory and this Sunday they host Banfield at La Bombonera. Miguel Ángel Russo's team will seek to retain the three points at home and climb positions in Zone A of the 2025 Clausura Tournament.
The Xeneize will host the Taladro this Sunday in a match they cannot afford to miss, which is crucial to confirm their rise after the 3-0 victory against Independiente Rivadavia. Boca needs to keep adding points to get into the top eight of the first phase and advance to the next stage in the local championship. Additionally, they must secure their spot in the next Libertadores through the annual table.
Considering all this, Miguel Ángel Russo plans to make as few changes as possible to the starting lineup that began his cycle's first victory. He would only make one change compared to those who started in Mendoza. Alan Velasco has a chance to come in and take Carlos Palacios' place.
Boca comes from a 3-0 win over Independiente Rivadavia.
