With his head focused on Tuesday’s revenge against Corinthians for the return leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16, Boca will receive Banfield this Friday from 9:30 p.m. and with ESPN Premium television. It will be one of the two games that will kick off the sixth date of the Professional League championship. The other will start at 7:15 p.m. and will be starred in Santiago del Estero by Central Córdoba and Argentinos Juniors broadcast by TNT Sports.
As before Union, the technician Sebastián Battaglia decided that the starters go to the substitute bench, reserving them for the cup rematch and presenting an alternative formation. Of those who were in San Pablo, the only one who will play with Banfield will be the left back Matías Sandez. The rest will be different and perhaps The biggest novelty of the night will be that a new shirt model will be presented and that it will not have advertising when the agreement signed in 2018 expires.
Boca cannot afford to neglect the local tournament due to its fixation with the Cup. It has lost two of the five games it has played so far (against Central Córdoba and Unión) and is four points behind the leader Newell’s. For its part, Banfield arrives with eight points (one less than Boca) and comes from equaling 1 to 1 with Barracas Central in the South.
