With plenty of changes: Úbeda's XI for the trip to Central Córdoba | OneFootball

With qualification for the Apertura playoffs already secured, Claudio Úbeda has his priorities clear. With the crucial trip to Guayaquil in mind to face Barcelona in the Copa Libertadores, the Boca coach decided to field an alternative lineup this Saturday against Central Córdoba. The idea is to rest the usual starters after the wear and tear in Belo Horizonte and arrive fresh for Tuesday.

The big news in the starting eleven is the presence of Chilean Williams Alarcón, who gets another chance from the start after a long time. He will form the double pivot alongside Tomás Belmonte, in a team featuring big names looking to challenge the regular starters for a spot, such as Nicolás Figal, Ángel Romero and Changuito Zeballos.

The only one not getting a rest is Leandro Brey. Following Marchesín’s injury, the youngster has become an untouchable piece and will be the goalkeeper in Santiago del Estero. The rest of the defense will be the one that has been getting minutes in the domestic tournament, with Barinaga and Braida on the flanks.

The likely team to visit the Ferroviario: Leandro Brey; Juan Barinaga, Nicolás Figal, Marco Pellegrino, Malcom Braida; Tomás Belmonte, Williams Alarcón; Alan Velasco, Ángel Romero, Exequiel Zeballos; Milton Giménez. “Sifón” is betting on the formula that has already paid off domestically to close out the first phase with a smile.
