Claudio Úbeda set to shake up Boca’s defence for trip to Unión | OneFootball

After the 1-1 draw against San Lorenzo de Almagro, Claudio Úbeda was not satisfied with the defense's performance and is considering making several changes in that area of the field for the match where Boca will face Unión.

The Xeneize coach is considering making changes in the team's backline because he was dissatisfied with some individual performances. The central defense, which seemed unmovable for the Sifón, might undergo changes for this Sunday's match.

The performance of Lautaro Di Lollo and Ayrton Costa came under the coach's scrutiny due to their play in the classic held at La Bombonera. Both made mistakes that could cost them their positions. Additionally, the right-back position, which was harshly criticized by both fans and the press, is also in question: Marcelo Weigandt might lose the spot he gained without much merit.

The team might have changes.

Nicolás Figal and Marco Pellegrino are the natural changes in the central defense and could both or one of them be included. Juan Barinaga has a chance to return to the position he lost due to poor performances, and the player who returned from Inter Miami took over, despite not having done the preseason with the team and being apart from it.

Another possibility is for Figal to play as a right-back, something he has done several times, despite his natural position being a central defender. The Sifón currently does not trust the young Dylan Gorosito, even though he has been performing well in the reserves and is eagerly seeking an opportunity.

Úbeda would not change the rest of the team, as he left La Bombonera with a good feeling, which he expressed in the post-match press conference, despite the previously mentioned poor performances in the defensive area.

Claudio Úbeda organized the travel plans to Santa Fe

The Boca squad will train this Saturday for the last time before traveling to Santa Fe to face the Tatengue. The training will be in the morning, followed by lunch at the facility, and then they will be transported by bus to the airport, which is a short distance away. There, they will take a flight to the central-eastern province of the country.

The Xeneize travels to Santa Fe this Saturday for Sunday's match.

Once they arrive in the provincial capital, they will head to the Los Silos Casino hotel, where they will stay overnight in anticipation of Sunday's match. It is worth noting that the match between Boca and Unión will take place on March 15 at 10 PM at the 15 de Abril stadium.
