Fernando Gago is analyzing some variations for his team ahead of Sunday's commitment in the 12th round of the 2025 Opening Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF).

Boca Juniors suffered a hard blow in their visit to Rosario against Newell’s Old Boys and aims to return to the winning path this Sunday when they host Barracas Central at La Bombonera in the 12th round of the 2025 Opening Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF).

Fernando Gago knows he has little margin for error after being eliminated in the preliminary phase of the CONMEBOL Libertadores and is thinking of two changes for the next game. Firstly, Chilean striker Carlos Palacios could regain his place in the starting lineup as a replacement for Alan Velasco, one of the most criticized signings due to his poor performances and his failure in the decisive penalty against Alianza Lima.

Palacios was not called up for the game with Newell's due to a suspension for indiscipline, but if he completes this week of training, he will be considered again by his coach. On the other hand, Gago could give Rodrigo Battaglia a chance in midfield, who has always been a starter as a central defender, but could face Tomás Belmonte in a position originally intended for Ander Herrera, who is suffering from a new injury.

With these modifications and waiting to see what happens in the final rehearsals, Boca Juniors' probable lineup against Barracas Central would be with Agustín.

Marchesín; Lucas Blondel, Lautaro di Lollo, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco; Tomás Belmonte or Rodrigo Battaglia, Milton Delgado, Kevin Zenón; Carlos Palacios; Milton Giménez and Edinson Cavani.
