Úbeda springs a surprise, set to make more than two changes against Tigre | OneFootball

Boca prepares to host Tigre this Sunday at La Bombonera. The Xeneize team completed a new training session ahead of this match in which Claudio Úbeda would make more than two changes, despite it seemed he was set to make those modifications.

Nicolás Figal is a definite choice to enter the lineup in place of Lautaro Di Lollo, who received his fifth yellow card against River and will not be able to play the match against the Matador. The other change Claudio Úbeda tested was the inclusion of Ander Herrera for Milton Giménez, as the center forward is on the verge of suspension and they do not want to risk him.

But the modifications wouldn't stop there, as the coach surprised by promoting youth players who play in the reserves to join the training sessions with the team preparing for the 16th round of the Torneo Clausura, the last of the regular phase. Taking advantage of already being qualified for the playoffs and the Libertadores, the Sifón could rest several starters.

Claudio Úbeda considers several changes.

The idea of the technical staff led by Claudio Úbeda is for the players who have accumulated many minutes in recent matches to rest this round and be well-prepared for the round of 16. In fact, several of them might not even be included in the squad for the match at La Bombonera.

Therefore, the head coach would call up several youth players and other squad members who have had little participation. It will be an opportunity to showcase themselves and try to stand out to fight for a place in the upcoming matches.

Úbeda decides who plays against Tigre

While the coach defines the team, the Professional Football League announced the schedule for the last round of the regular phase of the Torneo Clausura, confirming the day and time when Boca Juniors will face Tigre. The match, corresponding to the 16th round, will be played this Sunday, November 16 at 20:15 at the Alberto J. Armando stadium.

The Xeneize hosts the Matador.

Additionally, Darío Herrera was appointed as the main referee for the match, in which the Xeneize team could secure the exclusive lead of Zone A. The VAR will be handled by Fernando Espinoza. The broadcast will be by ESPN Premium.
