With 2 changes: Boca’s line-up to face Platense | OneFootball

Boca’s coach confirmed the starting eleven with two changes as they go in search of a win tonight against Platense. El Xeneize will visit the Ciudad de Vicente López stadium starting at 9:15 p.m., aiming to take all three points on Matchday 5 of the Clausura Tournament.

Rodolfo Arruabarrena shuffled the deck and finalized the lineup for the Boca side for tonight’s match. The head coach decided to make two changes from the last game, looking to give some players a bit of rest without resorting to heavy rotation.

In central defense, Marco Pellegrino will come into the starting lineup in place of Ayrton Costa. El Vasco is banking on the young defender’s profile and solidity to counter Platense’s aerial game in a venue that is always tough. As a result, he will form the center-back pairing alongside youngster Lautaro Di Lollo, in front of Colombian goalkeeper Álvaro Montero.

The other big news for the blue and gold club is in attack, where Sebastián Villa will return to the starting lineup. The Colombian forward will take the place of Uruguayan Miguel Merentiel, forming a strike partnership with promising youngster Leonel Flores.

With these tweaks, the midfield will remain unchanged and will be led by the class of Leandro Paredes, alongside Santiago Ascacíbar, Milton Delgado, and the drive of Tomás Aranda. Out wide, Leandro Lozano and Lautaro Blanco will have the task of contributing both defensively and in the team’s attacking runs.
