Boca Juniors, with irregular performance in the Professional Football League (LPF), will visit Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata this Sunday in the continuity of the date 25 with the premise of improving their results and performance when playing outside of La Bombonera.

The match will begin at 4:30 p.m., will be refereed by Hernán Mastrángelo and will be televised on the ESPN Premium signal.

Boca has 35 points in the championship and comes from beating Huracán 1-0 at La Bombonera, while Gymnastics added 28 units and in his previous presentation he lost in Tucumán with Atlético 2-0.

In the case of Mouththe poor results away from home are one of their deficits, and this is reaffirmed by the fact that out of a total of 11 games they barely won three (against Vélez, Barracas Central and Argentinos Juniors), drew two and lost six, including against Arsenal and Banfield, two of the worst teams in the tournament.

That weak walk as a visitor contrasts with his performance at La Bombonera, where he won seven games, lost three (only one under the leadership of Jorge Almirón, against Estudiantes de La Plata) and tied another three in a campaign marked by irregularities.

To visit the “Wolf” The coach from Boca Jorge Almirón will make a single change regarding the formation that defeated Huracán: It will be the return in defense of Nicolás Figal after having completed a suspension date due to the accumulation of reprimands, replacing the Paraguayan Bruno Valdez.

Figal will join a line of four along with Marcelo Weigandt and the Colombian Frank Fabra on the sidesand next to him in the rear the Juninense Nicolás Valentini, who will continue as starter and will relegate Valdez, who seems to have his days numbered in Boca since they intend to release the quota of foreigners and he is one of the chosen ones, the other could be his compatriot Oscar Romero, also of poor performance.

Almirón will bet once again on double nine with the Uruguayan Miguel Merentiel and the Santa Fe Luis Vázquez, author of the winning goal over Huracán.

Among the substitutes will once again be Darío “Pipa” Benedetto as happened in the previous game and the great novelty is the presence of striker Exequiel “Changuito” Zeballos from Santiago, one of the club’s greatest hopes, after having left behind a series of injuries.

As planned by Almirón, it is possible that “Changuito” Zeballos and Luca Langoni, also recovered from a muscle injury, add minutes next Thursday for the Argentine Cup in the round of 16 match against Barracas Central to be played in Santiago del Estero .

On the gymnastics side, coach Sebastián “Chirola” Romero will have midfielder Ignacio Miramón availablewho had left in the match against Atlético Tucumán due to a blow, while Nicolás Colazo and Matías Melluso did not recover, so that the youthful Matías Bazzi could continue on the left side or Rodrigo Gallo could enter.

Another doubt for “Chirola” Romero to receive Boca is on the left side, between Guillermo Enrique and Bautista Barros Schelotto, while Antonio Napolitano will come out in the midfield and be replaced by Agustín Bolívar or Nicolás Sánchez.

The record between the two is 157 games and widely favors Boca with 84 victories against 36 for Gimnasia, and there were also 36 draws.

The last time they played in the La Plata forest was on October 20 of last year and Boca won 2-1. with goals from Fabra and Luca Langoni (Leonardo Morales had temporarily tied) in a key victory for the champion title that he achieved 10 days later.
