Arruabarrena shuffles Boca's pack to face Newell's amid tough run | OneFootball

They visit Newell’s Old Boys this Sunday aiming to bounce back after the heavy thrashing suffered against Deportivo Riestra in their Torneo Clausura opener. Despite securing a hard-fought place in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 against O’Higgins, the team’s performance raised doubts. For this reason, and with a run of seven matches in a month about to begin, coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena decided to make moderate changes to protect the squad’s fitness.

Three changes and a tactical switch

The coaching staff will make three specific changes to the starting lineup to face La Lepra. Dylan Gorosito will play at right-back instead of Leandro Lozano, while Lautaro Di Lollo will return to central defense in place of Nicolás Figal. In midfield, Leonel Flores will replace Milton Delgado to give him a rest, a move that will also alter the team’s tactical setup. Meanwhile, captain Leandro Paredes will remain in the starting eleven despite the accumulated fatigue following the World Cup.

Lineup and match details

The confirmed Xeneize lineup at Marcelo Bielsa Stadium will be made up of Álvaro Montero, Dylan Gorosito, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Malcom Braida, Santiago Ascacíbar, Leandro Paredes, Leonel Flores, Tomás Aranda, Sebastián Villa and Miguel Merentiel.
