With a forced change, Úbeda’s side to face Instituto | OneFootball

Despite the criticism that arose after the draws with San Lorenzo and Unión, Claudio Úbeda will only make one change to Boca’s lineup, and it will be a forced one, due to Santiago Ascacíbar’s injury, which will keep him off the pitch for 21 days. Looking ahead to the next match against Instituto at La Bombonera, the coach intends to maintain the structure that he believes worked well at times in the previous three games, with the victory over Lanús being the pinnacle of the starting eleven.

In the eyes of the coaching staff, the team had stretches of good play and managed to dominate for long periods in both matches, even though the final results did not reflect their superiority. With the idea of consolidating a foundation that allows for footballing continuity, Sifón will line up ten of the players who started in those matches.

Although Boca’s defense still appeared to be the area that raised some doubts and could have undergone a specific adjustment, Úbeda has placed his trust in the same defensive line he has been using: Marcelo Weigandt, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, and Lautaro Blanco, with Agustín Marchesín in goal.

The leading candidate to replace the injured Ascacíbar in midfield is Ander Herrera, who would be the only change in the lineup, which will again feature Leandro Paredes, Milton Delgado, and Tomás Aranda.

Úbeda will also once again field the strike partnership of Adam Bareiro and Miguel Merentiel, making his intentions clear: to maintain the core of the team that has started the last three matches, in order to give them more playing time and improve their chemistry, seeking an improvement in collective performance.
