The 4 changes Boca could make to face Olimpia | OneFootball

The Boca squad finished their preparation this morning at the Ezeiza facility, before embarking on the journey for what will be the last friendly commitment of the preseason. The opponent will be Olimpia, and although it was speculated that the coach would maintain the base of the team that has been playing, the morning practice revealed a different scenario.

Claudio Úbeda surprised by making changes to the starting lineup. Despite the good impression left in the last match against Millonarios, the Xeneize coach opted to try new names in all areas of the field. The defensive zone was the first to show changes, with Nicolás Figal coming in to replace Di Lollo to bring more experience to the back. Likewise, on the left side, Malcom Braida took the place of Lautaro Blanco, being one of the modifications that drew the most attention during the practice.

The midfield and the forward line were not left behind in terms of rotations. In the midfield, Tomás Belmonte took the place of Milton Delgado seeking greater balance and range, while in the attack Alan Velasco was chosen to support the offense, moving Brian Aguirre to the bench after his performance at La Bombonera.

Barring unforeseen events, the team that the coach is planning to field would consist of Agustín Marchesín, Juan Barinaga, Nicolás Figal, Ayrton Costa, Malcom Braida, Ander Herrera, Tomás Belmonte, Leandro Paredes, Alan Velasco, Miguel Merentiel, and Exequiel Zeballos.

Despite this formal rehearsal, "Sifón" remains cautious and has not yet confirmed the lineup officially. As usual, the coaching staff will wait until the pre-match talk to confirm the starting eleven.
