Boca Juniors has a total of three games without a win (two losses and one draw) and will look to improve its performances this Tuesday, when they face Corinthians in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. Despite the recent slump, the 'Xeneize' fans have expectations of getting a good result.
One of the areas to improve for coach Sebastián Battaglia is the offensive zone, since the team has not scored in its last two games (0-0 with 'Timao' and a 3-0 loss against Banfield). In that sense, the departure of Eduardo Salvio has been significant, as it takes away an attacking option from the technical command.
Given these circumstances, Boca Juniors won't hold anything back to measure forces against Corinthians and recently the list of players called up for the match was announced. The presence of Sebastián Villa and Darío Benedetto stands out in the lineup, while the Peruvians Luis Advíncula and Carlos Zambrano shine in defense.
List of called up players for Boca Juniors
- Goalkeepers: Agustín Rossi and Javier García
- Defenders: Marcos Rojo, Carlos Zambrano, Carlos Izquierdoz, Luis Advíncula, Frank Fabra, Marcelo Weigant, and Agustín Sández
- Midfielders: Pol Fernández, Jorman Campuzano, Esteban Rolón, Alan Varela, Óscar Romero, Aaron Molinas, Juan Ramírez, and Cristian Medina
- Forwards: Darío Benedetto, Exequiel Zeballos, Sebastián Villa, Luis Vázquez, Nicolás Orsini, and Luca Langoni
The possible lineup for Boca Juniors vs. Corinthians: Agustín Rossi, Luis Advíncula, Carlos Izquierdoz, Marcos Rojo, Frank Fabra; Pol Fernández, Alan Varela, Óscar Romero; Exequiel Zeballos, Darío Benedetto, and Sebastián Villa.
