Boca faces a crucial clash at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó Stadium against Vélez Sarsfield on Matchday 4 of the Torneo Clausura. The Xeneize side is looking to build on its footballing recovery after the recent win over Estudiantes de La Plata and close the gap in the overall standings against a direct rival in the race for continental qualification.
After picking up a key victory in Parque Patricios thanks to Santiago Ascacíbar’s goal, the club from La Ribera will try to keep its momentum going in the domestic tournament. That 1-0 win allowed the blue and gold institution to reach four points in Zone B and move into seventh place. However, the margin for error remains minimal for its ambitions of fighting near the top of the table.
The clash against El Fortín carries enormous importance for the annual table. With 34 points accumulated, Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s team sits fifth, just three points behind the Liniers side, which is in third place and currently holds one of the spots for next year’s Copa Libertadores. A victory for Boca would mean a major leap in the overall standings.

With this match in mind, Boca’s coaching staff is considering making a few specific changes to the lineup. With the upcoming Copa Sudamericana round of 16 tie against Deportivo Recoleta just around the corner, rotating some names is unavoidable.
The match at Huracán’s stadium will also have special emotional significance with Guillermo Barros Schelotto on the visiting bench. El Mellizo, remembered for the two domestic titles won during his spell in charge of the squad between 2016 and 2018, will once again cross paths with the Xeneize faithful ahead of the round of 16 Copa Argentina clash they will also play on September 2.
