Boca’s lineup was fully confirmed by Rodolfo Arruabarrenafor the match against Racing in the Copa Argentina quarterfinals. The head coach made just one forced change to the starting eleven compared to the team that shined against San Lorenzo. With Leandro Brey coming in for Álvaro Montero, the Xeneize will look to book their place in the semifinals at the Gigante de Arroyito.

The current form of the Boca side has the fans dreaming, backed by strong consistency on multiple fronts. Already through to the Copa Sudamericana semifinals and competing near the top of the Clausura and the overall table, the blue-and-gold club heads into this match with enormous optimism.

The only change to the lineup is strictly due to a force majeure caused by the FIFA international break. Álvaro Montero was called up by the Colombia national team and will leave the first team goal vacant. Even though president Juan Román Riquelme contacted Néstor Lorenzo in an attempt to keep him, the Colombian coach turned it down, considering him a vital piece in his setup.

Given this situation, responsibility between the posts will firmly fall to Leandro Brey. Vasco Arruabarrena decided to stick with the tactical base that delivered a solid performance last matchday, reaffirming his confidence in the rest of the starting unit.
