This Sunday, Boca Juniors hosts Newell's Old Boys from Rosario in the match corresponding to the eleventh round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. The Xeneize needs a victory to reposition itself at the top of Zone A and the overall accumulated table.
The team led by Miguel Ángel Russo, currently managed by Claudio Úbeda due to health issues affecting the Copa Libertadores champion, will host La Lepra this Sunday. Boca must turn the page after the defeat suffered in Florencio Varela against Defensa y Justicia by 2 to 1, and make home advantage count.
Boca must return to victory after the defeat against Defensa y Justicia.
Claudio Úbeda, in constant contact with Miguelo and working alongside Juvenal Rodríguez, the other assistant coach, decided to keep the same names that lost at the Tito Tomaghello. Barring any setbacks, Boca will field the same players, who will look to defeat Cristian Fabbiani’s side.
The visitors come from a 1-1 draw against Estudiantes de La Plata at home, and arrive at La Bombonera with an inconsistent run in the championship. They have only achieved 2 victories, with 4 draws and 4 defeats in the ten rounds played before the clash at the Alberto J. Armando stadium against Boca.
The match between Boca and Newell’s will be played this Sunday, October 5, starting at 7:00 p.m. The match corresponding to round 11 of the Clausura Tournament will be broadcast by TNT Sports and refereed by Sebastian Zunino. The referee will be assisted by Pablo González and Walter Ferreyra, the fourth official will be Álvaro Carranza, while in the VAR booth will be Pablo Dóvalo and Diego Verlotta.
The Xeneize would repeat the same lineup.
Lautaro Di Lollo is one yellow card away from suspension. The central defender has accumulated 4 yellow cards and if booked in this match, he will miss the next game with the Xeneize (vs Barracas Central).
