The only change Boca might make for the Superclásico against River? | OneFootball

Boca secured a dramatic victory against Estudiantes that left them in a very good position heading into the championship decider and qualification for the Copa Libertadores. Now comes the match against River, and Claudio Úbeda must decide who will start in the Superclásico.

The team’s head coach gave the players the day off after the win in La Plata. This Tuesday, the Xeneize squad will resume training with their sights set on the clash against their eternal rivals, but “Sifón” is considering making just one change compared to the lineup that started the match at the UNO Jorge Luis Hirschi stadium.

To play at La Bombonera against River, Claudio Úbeda would make just one change, which is the return of Leandro Paredes. The world champion has already served his suspension for accumulating five yellow cards and is eligible to play. Naturally, he will return to the starting lineup.

Paredes will return to the starting eleven, and the player who will make way is Tomás Belmonte, who did a good job filling in against Pincha. The coaching staff was very pleased with the former Lanús player’s performance, but logic prevails.

Boca’s training schedule for the Superclásico

The squad had Monday off and will resume work on Tuesday afternoon at the Ezeiza training complex. On Wednesday, a double session is scheduled, which will include staying on site between the morning and afternoon practices.

Afterwards, on Thursday there will be a formal football practice at La Bombonera, and by then, the coach will decide on the lineup. On Friday, the team will begin their pre-match concentration. This means they will remain in camp for the two nights leading up to the match. Saturday will be the last practice before the game, at Casa Amarilla.
