Boca visits Racing at the Cilindro de Avellaneda for the sixth round of the Torneo Clausura. The Xeneize arrive full of confidence after thrashing Recoleta and comfortably advancing to the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. However, the results in the domestic competition still leave much to be desired, and a victory is becoming more necessary with each passing match.
The clásico against la Academia away from home is a major challenge for Vasco Arruabarrena’s side, and they will have to treat it as such. The Avellaneda team come in needing a must-win result at home after piling up 3 straight defeats and sitting near the bottom of Group B.
Although Boca have suffered only one defeat in the domestic competition, they have also managed just one win. The team from la Ribera has collected 6 points, thanks to three draws and one victory, which is why Arruabarrena knows that taking 3 points from Avellaneda would not only provide a boost in the standings, but also in the squad’s confidence.

For that, the coach plans to repeat most of the starters who thrashed Recoleta in Paraguay, although he has not ruled out bringing in Leonel Flores for Sebastian Villa from the start. It should be remembered that Leandro Paredes, Marco Pellegrino, and Leandro Lozano have still not recovered from their injuries. In addition, Lautaro Di Lollo and Braida also did not arrive in optimal condition to be alternatives for Vasco.
The match against Racing will take place today starting at 21:30 at the Presidente Perón Stadium and will be broadcast on ESPN Premium. Nicolás Ramírez will be the referee in charge tonight, while Fernando Echenique will be on VAR duty.
