Bareiro and Janson in Úbeda’s line-up for Boca v Gimnasia de Chivilcoy | OneFootball

In a match with a lot at stake, Sifón will turn to several substitutes for the clash against Gimnasia, from Chivilcoy, who play in the Torneo Federal A.

Questioned and booed by the fans, Claudio Úbeda earned himself another chance with the draw against Racing at the Bombonera. The coach knows he has no margin for error, but even so, in this morning’s training session he tried out an alternative lineup to make his debut in the Copa Argentina against Gimnasia, from Chivilcoy. It would be the debut of Ádam Bareiro, who has just arrived.

Facing a team from the Torneo Federal A gives Sifón the opportunity to rest several starters ahead of an intense run of games that could be decisive for what’s to come. In addition, he will look to recover several injured players, among them Exequiel Zeballos and Leandro Paredes, who are essential for the team’s performance.

Although Agustín Marchesín is the starter and a key figure, in Monday’s practice the goal was in the hands of Leandro Brey, who will play his first match of the year. At the back, Juan Barinaga’s injury leaves the right back spot open for Marcelo Weigandt and Dylan Gorosito to compete for; Gorosito could play his second match in the First Division (he started against Defensa y Justicia in 2024, with Diego Martínez as coach). Chelo was in the starting lineup at Boca Predio.

Additionally, it will be a chance for the backup center backs to get some minutes. The current form of Lautaro di Lollo and Ayrton Costa isn’t what it was at the end of 2025, so Nicolás Figal and Marco Pellegrino will have a great opportunity, even if they’re facing a less formidable opponent. On the left side, meanwhile, Malcom Braida will start, having had almost no minutes since joining the club.

Meanwhile, there aren’t many options for the center of midfield. Injuries have meant that Milton Delgado is a definite starter, even among the substitutes. If Úbeda sticks with what he tried today, Tomás Belmonte and Williams Alarcón, who both started in last Sunday’s clásico against Racing, will be alongside him.

In attack, Ádam Bareiro will make his debut in a Boca shirt, and he will be supported by Ángel Romero on one side and Lucas Janson on the other. In a match where absolute dominance and almost exclusive possession are expected, Sifón is betting on three experienced names.
