What time Boca v Independiente kicks off in the Apertura, line-ups and TV | OneFootball

After the 1-0 win over Universidad Católica in Chile in the Copa Libertadores, Boca return to action in the local championship. The team managed by Claudio Úbeda will host Independiente at La Bombonera.

El Xeneize have already shifted their focus from the Copa, at least for a while, to concentrate on the clásico against El Rojo on matchday 14 of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. Úbeda’s side will look to stay on the winning track and put a bad run against the Avellaneda club behind them.

This Saturday, April 11, from 7:30 p.m. at the Alberto J. Armando stadium, Boca will host Independiente with the aim of ending a run of almost nine years without a home win against this opponent. All while keeping an eye on the continental competition, which they will play again four days later at the same venue.

The coach of the team from La Ribera is expected to rotate several names. One enforced change will have to be made due to Leandro Paredes’ suspension, as he picked up his fifth yellow card and cannot play in this match. In addition, he would return to the core of the players who featured against Talleres.

The visitors, meanwhile, have an important absence: Santiago Montiel suffered a muscle tear and will not be available. However, they will once again have a key player back: Matías Abaldo served his suspension and will return to the starting lineup.

Independiente, under Gustavo Quinteros, sit eighth in Zone A with 17 points. They are 5 points off the top and are coming off a 1-0 win in the Avellaneda derby against Racing. They have accumulated 4 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses.
