Estudiantes and Boca resume their duel for the League Cup | They will play in La Plata the remaining 64 minutes after the suspension

Students from La Plata and Boca will resume this Friday the suspended confrontation for the eleventh date, interrupted by the decompensation of the Pincha player, Javier Altamirano, in the preview of what will be the closing of the League Cup. The duel will be at 7:30 p.m. (TV: ESPN Premium) at the UNO stadium in La Plata.

After the forced break, both teams return to 0-0 with their sights set on the classification. Two 32-minute halves will be played, since there were 64 left to play in total.

Boca, which is coming off a solid win against Newell’s and a close victory in the Copa Sudamericana against Trinidense, seeks to secure its place in the quarterfinals. To do this, Diego Martínez will line up his best eleven, with important returns such as Sergio “Chiquito” Romero – the goalkeeper has just recovered from an inflammation of the Achilles tendon in his left foot – and the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani up front.

Xeneize trained again at the Ezeiza facility and there the coach stopped the team that is thinking about going to La Plata. After practice, the footballers will remain concentrated waiting for the match in which, if they win, they will ensure classification one date earlier.

Martinez will count on the return of Cristian Medina and Luca Langoni, who had been sidelined against Trinidad by various knocks. Marcos Rojo, Ezequiel and “Pol” Fernandez are the other changes. Nicolás Valentini, Jorman Campuzano and Lucas Blondel, who was injured against the Cyclone, will be absent.

The coach also cannot count on Exequiel Zeballos – who is getting closer to returning after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that he suffered at the end of last year – and Aaron Anselmino, who tore his left hamstring last Tuesday against Trinidense, a match in which he scored the winning goal.

For its part, Estudiantes are sixth, with one point less than Boca. A victory would ensure them a place in the qualifying zone, but the battle for the next stage will be defined on the last day against Lanús.

The team led by Eduardo Domínguez has just beaten Central Córdoba 5-0 and beat The Strongest 2-1 in what was the second date of the Copa Libertadores, a result that placed them very well in Group C.

With significant losses such as those of Federico Fernández and Tiago Palacios, Pincha will seek to assert their home team and add three key points.
