Boca today: Úbeda's doubt for Barcelona of Ecuador in Copa Libertadores | OneFootball

Boca Juniors will face Barcelona of Ecuador this Tuesday night in the fourth matchday of the Group Stage of the 2026 Copa Libertadores, in a key match for the standings. The game will kick off at 9:00 p.m. and could mark a turning point in the battle for first place.

The team coached by Claudio Úbeda needs a win to improve its position in the group and take a firm step toward qualifying for the round of 16.

Bareiro’s absence and the big question in attack

One of the main developments is the absence of Adam Bareiro, who is suspended after being sent off against Cruzeiro following a second yellow card.

Given this situation, Boca’s coach will have to decide who will partner Miguel Merentiel up front. The doubt is between two very different profiles: Milton Giménez, a penalty-box striker, or Exequiel Zeballos, a more dynamic winger.

Both players are coming off strong performances in the win over Central Córdoba, so the final decision remains open.
