BOCA JUNIORS VS. FLUMINENSE: BETTING
With Édinson Cavani on one side and Germán Cano on the other, the battle of ideas between the brains Valentín Barco-Pol Fernández and Ganso-Jhon Arias, and the face-to-face of the '1's, are the expected duels for the 2023 Copa Libertadores final between Boca Juniors and Fluminense.
Boca and the Tricolor carioca will meet at the Maracanã in an unprecedented duel for the crown of America, featuring a variety of valued figures, some of them returning to the region after several years in Europe, and others looking to make the leap to the old continent.
Fernando Diniz, 49, has made Fluminense one of the best teams in Brazilian football since mid-last year when he took over to replace Abel Braga. And such was his success, based on an offensive and close-to-traditional 'jogo bonito' style, that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) chose him as the interim coach of the Seleção in July to replace Tite.
Jorge Almirón, on the other hand, arrived at Boca as a firefighter when April began and with a moderate acceptance from the xeneize fandom. The team was slowly consumed by the flames due to poor results, which led to the dismissal of coach Hugo Ibarra, and the name of Almirón, 52, appeared as one of the options after the "no" from Gerardo Martino, then the coach targeted by Riquelme and his advisors.
Valentín Barco and Guillermo "Pol" Fernández are Boca's thermometers. If they perform well on the field, the Xeneize usually excels.
The architecture of the blue and gold game starts with the midfielder Fernández, 32 years old. And his best complement is the irreverent Barco.
Fernández has good interior play, with good mobility, clean distribution, and ball movement. Barco operates on the left wing and at 19 years old, he is Almirón's creative card, the different player from whom a luxury, a snap of the fingers capable of unlocking a match, is expected.
Paulo Henrique Ganso and Colombian Jhon Arias are the shining lights in the 'Flu'.
