The clash between Boca Juniors and San Lorenzo is set for this Wednesday at 19:45 at the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, known as La Bombonera, for the 10th date of Zone A in the Apertura Tournament. This match is crucial for both teams, who have 12 points and aim to solidify their standings in the table for playoff qualification.
Boca arrives on an upswing after a 3-0 away victory over Lanús, which broke a streak of four matches without full points and placed them sixth in Zone A. That win provided relief for head coach Claudio Úbeda, who had faced fan criticism. Ahead of the game, Úbeda delivered a message that sparked hope among Boca supporters, highlighting the team's current form.
San Lorenzo, coached by Damián Ayude, sits eighth due to goal difference despite matching Boca's 12 points. The Ciclón started strongly in the tournament but has won only one of its last five matches. The previous two encounters between the sides, in 2024, favored Boca: 2-1 in the Copa de la Liga and 3-2 in the Liga Profesional.
The expected lineups are: for Boca, Agustín Marchesín; Marcelo Weigandt, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Leandro Paredes, Santiago Ascacíbar, Milton Delgado; Tomás Aranda; Miguel Merentiel and Adam Bareiro. For San Lorenzo, Orlando Gill; Ezequiel Herrera, Jhohan Romaña, Gastón Hernández, Mathias De Ritis; Ezequiel Cerutti, Ignacio Perruzzi, Nicolás Tripichio, Agustín Ladstatter; Luciano Vietto and Alexis Cuello. Pablo Echavarría will referee, with Silvio Trucco on VAR. The match will air on ESPN Premium.
