Boca plays in Mendoza with an inescapable mission: to finally break the streak of 12 matches without a win and regain its strength just as the annual table opens a door once again. The defeat of Argentinos, a direct rival in the fight to enter the next Copa Libertadores via the general table, gives Xeneize a chance that cannot be wasted. At the Malvinas Argentinas, the Cuyo night demands character and points.
The urgency is not just mathematical; it’s about identity. Boca needs a show of authority to put the present in order and set the course in the Torneo Clausura. With their fans pushing from the stands in Mendoza, the team must turn nerves into competitive energy and anxiety into focus.
The starting eleven is not yet confirmed: Russo shook things up in the last practice and even tried a change of formation. Boca tested different options on the wings and in midfield to gain aggression and height in both boxes, and a couple of surprises are expected in the starting lineup. The message is clear: no one’s place is guaranteed and the door is open for whoever steps up.
Boca is coming off a 1-1 draw against Racing.
Identity is non-negotiable and history is calling. It’s a night for the badge to carry weight, for the streak to be left behind, and for the team to start believing again with a win worth more than just three points. In Mendoza, with their people cheering them on, the Xeneize is looking for the emotional and sporting breakthrough that will launch the team towards a better present.
