Boca faces Vélez Sarsfield tonight at the José Amalfitani Stadium, in a key clash corresponding to the fourth round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. The team led by Claudio "Sifón" Úbeda will seek to confirm their good form after the victory against Newell’s and secure their third win in the championship.
The match between the Xeneize and the Fortín will start at 22:15 hours (Argentina). The official broadcast will be handled by TNT Sports Premium, a channel that requires the Football Pack subscription.
Boca arrives in Liniers with a record of two wins and one loss so far in the tournament. After defeating Newell’s Old Boys 2-0 in the previous round, the team from La Ribera will try to take the lead in the championship on a field that has historically been challenging in their recent visits.

The Xeneize presents with 3 changes.
For this match, Úbeda has to deal with an "injury epidemic" affecting the squad at the start of 2026. The most recent absences are Changuito Zeballos and Ander Herrera, both with muscle injuries that will sideline them for this clash.
The good news for Boca is the return of Miguel Merentiel. The Uruguayan forward trained alongside the group and is expected to start, joining the Xeneize offense with the youngster Gelini.
This will be the 197th professional era encounter between the two clubs. The history heavily favors Boca:
The last official meeting between them was the thrilling semifinal of the 2024 Argentine Cup, where the team from Liniers won 4-3. However, in league tournaments, the last match ended with a victory for the Xeneize by 1-0 with a goal from Edinson Cavani.
