Boca Set to Recast XI for Tigre: Figal Returns, Herrera Poised to Start as Double 9 Is Shelved

A draw secures first place in Zone A to lock home-field advantage in the playoffs.

Overview

  • Boca host Tigre at La Bombonera on Sunday at 20:15 with Darío Herrera as referee.
  • Lautaro Di Lollo is suspended for five yellow cards, with Nicolás Figal expected to replace him after roughly four months without an official match.
  • Coach Claudio Úbeda plans to abandon the two-striker setup, with Milton Giménez likely rested on four bookings and Miguel Merentiel leading the line.
  • Ander Herrera is in line to start in midfield as the staff manage minutes for players carrying knocks, with final decisions due after the last training session.
  • Edinson Cavani is set for the bench as he continues a strengthening program following a psoas issue.
