Claudio Úbeda seeks to repeat what happened in Boca's last match, where the team achieved a great result against Barracas Central. The coach's decision was effective, as the Xeneize won and wants the same outcome against Estudiantes, with the great goal of qualifying for the Copa Libertadores of America.
“Sifón” Úbeda decided that the players would concentrate for two nights again at the Hotel Intercontinental. As he did for the first time in the last match against Guapo, the players were called for tonight, so they will stay together today and tomorrow in anticipation of the match.

Boca is going for 3 crucial points against Estudiantes.
The team will depart on Sunday to La Plata to face Estudiantes for the 14th round of the Torneo Clausura. The match is scheduled for 4 PM, and the delegation will leave in two buses heading to the capital city of the Province of Buenos Aires after noon.
With this decision, Claudio Úbeda hopes his players will be more focused on the one goal: qualifying for the Copa Libertadores of America, with three matches left to achieve it. The aforementioned match against Pincha, the Superclásico against River, and the last regular phase match against Tigre.
Another measure taken by the coach is that the last training session before the match, on Saturday, will be held in La Boca. More precisely, on the main field of the Pedro Pompilio complex, better known as Casa Amarilla.
Besides deciding on this concentration, the coach decided to make two changes to the team. The first is forced by the absence of Leandro Paredes. The world champion will not be able to play because he received his fifth yellow card and was suspended for one match.

The midfielder's place will be taken by Tomás Belmonte, who returned to play minutes in the last match but hadn't played for three months. The other change is the inclusion of Exequiel Zeballos in place of Williams Alarcón.
Thus, Boca would start the match against Estudiantes with: Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Carlos Palacios, Milton Delgado, Tomás Belmonte, Exequiel Zeballos; Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez.
