Boca will seek to take a decisive step towards qualifying for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, when they host Colo-Colo from Chile on Tuesday for the fifth date of Group F, which Xeneize leads with 7 points (and better goal difference) along with Deportivo Pereira from Colombia.
The team led by Jorge Almirón has the possibility of securing the round pass in the main Conmebol tournament since by winning they can take 5 points away from Cacique (5), and without losing sight of the fact that Deportivo Pereira will visit the weak Monagas from Venezuela (2).
The match between Venezuelans and Colombians will be played from 7:00 p.m., while Boca and Colo-Colo will starting at 9:00 p.m. Both can be seen on Fox Sports.
After the 1-0 loss to Arsenal in the Professional League last Thursday, Almirón only stopped a team in practice this Monday and he made three modifications with respect to the eleven that fell on the Viaduct. Defender Nicolás Figal, affected by a muscular contraction after the match, was not in practice but it is discounted that he will be behind along with Paraguayan Bruno Valdez.
red will have to wait
And although there was speculation about the chance that red frames occupy a place on the substitute bench -the possibility of him starting as a starter was even considered-, the left-handed was left off the list of concentrates since the decision of Almirón is to take it little by little.
Red already added minutes (45) on the last date of the Reserve after recovering from a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that he had suffered on October 12 of last year, in the clash against Sarmiento in Junín. It will be necessary to see if he is to put the shorts in the next match, against Lanús next Saturday at 8:00 p.m. at homefor the 20th day of the Professional League.
The good news that the payroll of concentrates has is the return of Valentin Barco. The striker on the left began training with the squad last weekend, after his participation with the Argentina Under 20 National Team in the World Cup of the categoryand will be an alternative for the Colombian Frank Fabra, who is shaping up to start.
Langoni by Villa

Colo-Colo is loose
On the Colo-Colo side, goalkeeper Brayan Cortés will replace Argentine Fernando De Paul, who was sent off against Monagas in the 1-1 draw in Venezuela on the last date. The team led by Gustavo Quinteros won a match in Group F (precisely before the Venezuelans in Chile), tied two and fell in the remainder against Xeneize, in Santiago, with goals from Advíncula and Villaperhaps his last celebration with the blue and yellow shirt.
