In the context of the rescheduled match of Round 7 of Group A of the Torneo Apertura, at La Fortaleza, Boca visits Lanús, the last champion of the Recopa Sudamericana, in search of a victory that would allow them to break a streak of four matches without securing three points.
For this match, the Xeneize coach, Claudio Úbeda, will make changes to the starting lineup. One of them will be the return of Leandro Paredes to the midfield in place of Delgado. Additionally, the coach heeded the captain's advice by including Tomás Aranda instead of Lucas Janson.
After the 1-1 draw with Gimnasia de Mendoza at La Bombonera, the midfielder highlighted Aranda's entry and requested a player with his characteristics to help improve the team's performance and achieve good results.
"When there are people between the lines and who want balls between the lines, it's a huge advantage. The kid did very well, and hopefully, we can continue improving," were the midfielder's words to highlight Aranda's entry, still upset at that time by another draw for Boca.
Taking these statements into account, Úbeda took note and decided that the Reserve's young player would start in the first team for the first time in his career. On this occasion, he will be the offensive link between the midfielders and the forwards.
Thus, these are the two changes that the Xeneize coach will make against Lanús. The remaining nine players are those who started in the team's last presentation, last Saturday against the Lobo mendocino at home.
Boca will take the field with: Agustín Marchesín; Marcelo Weigandt, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Santiago Ascacibar, Leandro Paredes, Williams Alarcón; Tomás Aranda; Miguel Merentiel and Adam Bareiro.
