Boca face a tough run of fixtures, a crucial spell for Úbeda | OneFootball

After their second consecutive draw and third match without a win, Xeneize arrives under scrutiny for a rally of games that will be decisive for Úbeda’s continuity and the team’s future in the Apertura.

Boca once again left the Bombonera to whistles from the crowd after another draw in which they showed very little football-wise. Xeneize drew 0-0 again, this time against Racing, and Claudio Úbeda could not escape the focus of the fans’ frustration. In this context, the team is preparing to face a crucial stretch of seven matches in just 26 days.

This is probably the most inopportune moment for such an intense rally. With a long list of injured players and others out of form, perhaps the only good news is that the first of these matches will be against Gimnasia de Chivilcoy, in the round of 32 of the Copa Argentina. Against a lesser opponent (who play in Federal A), this Tuesday Sifón will be able to rest some players and, probably, return to winning ways to get some breathing room.

The following Saturday, once again at the Bombonera (it will be the fifth of seven home games in the Apertura), Boca will host Gimnasia de Mendoza for the eighth round (postponing the seventh against Lanús, who are playing the Recopa Sudamericana final), a recently promoted team. Again, a lower-caliber opponent could give a squad that needs to make peace with its fans a breath of fresh air.

After that, an exhausting rally awaits, with a visit to Lanús and trips to Santiago del Estero (Central Córdoba) and Santa Fe (Unión). Between the two away games in the interior will be the classic against San Lorenzo at home, and to close out the seven matches in 26 days, Instituto will visit the Bombonera. The little time between matches gives Úbeda very little room for maneuver, as he tries to recover as many injured players as possible and survive a stretch that could be lethal.
