The return of 'Apache' Tevez can bring more quality to Boca Juniors, but it has also forced coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto to rethink the team's midfield and attack strategy.
In order to include Tevez, 'Mellizo' has abandoned the 4-3-3 formation in favor of a 4-2-3-1, with Colombian player Wilmar Barrios and Uruguayan player Nahitan Nández in the midfield, Cristian Pavón and Edwin Cardona supporting 'Apache' in the creation, and Walter Bou as the sole striker.
However, due to injuries and performances, Barros Schelotto is still fine-tuning the team, and due to Pablo Pérez's injury, he might include skillful player Emmanuel Reynoso, a reinforcement from Talleres de Córdoba, instead of Bou so that Tevez can occupy the position of the sole striker.
Temperley will visit Boca Juniors dealing with problems. They are one of the four most complicated teams in the relegation table and could be facing relegation, in addition to having started the year with losses against Atlético Tucumán (0-3) and Talleres de Córdoba (0-1).
