Boca v Olimpia: kick-off time, line-ups and TV details | OneFootball

Boca faces the Paraguayan team in what will be their second and final preseason friendly before the start of official competition. The match will be played in San Nicolás with the aim of allowing Claudio Úbeda to finish fine-tuning the team before the start of the local championship.

The Xeneize continues their preparations for the 2026 season. After their summer debut with a goalless draw against Millonarios of Colombia at La Bombonera, the team led by Sifón Úbeda will play this Sunday in the city of San Nicolás against Olimpia of Paraguay. The match will serve as a final test before the start of the Apertura Tournament, where Boca will host Deportivo Riestra.

The team comes into this match with some key absences due to physical issues. Edinson Cavani and Milton Giménez are still recovering from their respective injuries, as are Rodrigo Battaglia and Carlos Palacios, who will not be part of the squad traveling to San Nicolás.

Boca plays its last preseason friendly.

Compared to those who started the match against the Colombians, the coach would make four changes: Nicolás Figal for Lautaro Di Lollo, Malcom Braida for Lautaro Blanco, Tomás Belmonte for Milton Delgado, and Alan Velasco for Brian Aguirre.
