The classic between Boca and Racing presents an opportunity to take off in the tournament

Neither Jorge Almiron in Fernando Gago They can save nothing for the duel that this Saturday at 9:30 p.m. they will play Mouth and Racing, shows that the present that both casts are going through is one of urgency for results. Thus, with the best that both have on the court, a great duel appears on the night of the Bombonera.

Almirón and Gago could save something because on the horizon for one appears the Superclásico against Rivernext Sunday for the local tournament, and for the other Flamengo, on Thursday for Libertadores Cup. But what is necessary for both Boca and Racing is to win and that is why the coaches will not speculate. By case, Almirón will risk Alan Varela and Guillermo Fernández: If they receive a yellow, they will miss the classic for reaching the fifth warning. Gago, for his part, will send the essentials to the pitch Matias Rojas and Anibal Morenowho left behind various muscle injuries and only this week were able to train alongside their teammates.

You are looking for the Almirón team. An important fact is that on a few occasions he was able to plant his favorite 4-3-3. The injuries to the forwards (Benedetto, Zeballos, Langoni and Briasco) have conspired so that he cannot achieve it. And against the Academy, the coach will opt for a 4-4-2, an unusual scheme in his history as a coach. The novelty will be the position of Luis Advíncula: he will move as a midfielder on the right to leave the position of winger to Marcelo Weigandt. The Peruvian has already played in that sector at Newell’s and in some games in the team led by Ricardo Gareca. The midfield will be completed by Pol Fernández, Varela and Payero.

Almirón will also tweak the defense and attack. Up to the untouchable Sebastián Villa this time will accompany him Luis Vázquez, so Miguel Merentiel will wait on the bench. The other novelty is the presence of Facundo Roncaglia in the central defense instead of the youthful Valentini.

Without a doubt, the most special duel of the match will be the one between winger Matías Rojas and winger Valentín Barco. For Colo it will be a litmus test: he will have to play hand in hand against one of the most unbalancing footballers in Argentine football. It is worth remembering that the Paraguayan reappears after leaving behind an ankle sprain that sidelined him from the last commitments.

Of course, Rojas’s will not be the only round held in the Avellaneda complex: Aníbal Moreno will once again be the axis of the midfield. The absence of the former Newell’s was felt a lot, so his return was eagerly awaited. Beyond the fact that he trained for a couple of days with his teammates, Gago does not hesitate and sends him to the field, even though on Thursday the Academy will play against Coloso Flamengo for the Copa Libertadores. Another who returns is Gonzalo Piovi: He will occupy the left side and Emiliano Insúa will continue as center back.

The doubt that Gago maintains is the same as always: Paul Guerrero. The last performances of Maximiliano Romero were good, so it is Hauche who bids with the Peruvian.
