After the tie in the superclásico, how Boca arrives to receive Belgrano

2024-02-26 00:42:42

Boca tied 1-1 this Saturday against River at the Monumental in a superclassic that, in favor of the spectacle, had more game than controversies, if we compare it with other games of this caliber. On the other hand, Belgrano tied 2-2 with Talleres in a highly entertaining match played at the Gigante de Alberdi.

On the next date, the “B” and the Xeneize will compete in the Bombonera. Just as Belgrano had an ugly start, adding only two points from the first 15 they played, Boca did not have a great start either as they tied with Platense, Sarmiento and Defensa, in addition to losing to Lanús at home on the date prior to the superclásico.

However, the team led by Diego Martínez managed to play a good game at the Monumental and earn a draw against River, who came in as the favorite to keep the three points.

Xeneize has high points in different areas of the field such as Cristian Medina, who scored the goal against Millonario, and Equi Fernández in the middle of the field; Lautaro Blanco who established himself on the left side; and Miguel Merentiel and Kevin Zenón in the final third, who despite not standing out in the superclásico, have been among the best with the blue and gold in this tournament.

However, the Ribera club is still waiting for the player who came to be its great figure, the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, to explode. “El Matador” cannot get his footing and there are already several clear chances that he has wasted with Xeneize and he is not meeting the expectations that were placed on him when he arrived in La Boca.

Another who has lowered his level is the Peruvian Luis Advíncula, who ended up being one of the leaders of Xeneize last season, and against River he suffered defensively when the Millonario forwards attacked behind him, in addition to having several deliveries towards the center of the court engaging his teammates.

If Diego Martínez maintains the same defense that he used against Millonario to receive Belgrano, it will be interesting to see the duel between compatriots that Advíncula and Reyna will have, who has been one of the best for Celeste in recent matches.

In addition, it is a good opportunity for Passerini to find the goal again since defender Nicolás Figal was another of the weak points of the Xeneize defense in the superclásico and Facundo Colidio took advantage of those mismatches to hurt on several occasions.

The biggest challenge for Farré’s team may be in the middle of the field. Due to the high level that Medina and Equi Fernández have been showing, Celeste will need a good game from Santiago Longo and Esteban Rolón to give balance to the team.

The truth is that both will come from having tied against their lifelong rival and will have to face each other in another tough match in the Bombonera. And the last time Belgrano and Boca faced each other it was a great game that “B” won 4-3 in Alberdi.
