[Trending News] The possible formation of Boca vs. Central Córdoba, for the Opening Tournament

Boca He is already in Santiago del Estero to face Central Córdoba. It will be a match in which Gago will seek to find new certainties. Or at least, that hinted at the DT with its decisions. Because in the practices of the week, Pintita left clear signs that he could repeat the same team that beat Rosario Central in La Bombonera. Yes, something that did not happen in any of the 23 games that he directed so far …

The only unknown to play against Central Córdoba is on the right side: Lucas Blondel or Luis Advíncula. In principle, everything indicates that the former tiger would follow, although the doubt will remain until the last moment. Then there would be no changes …

Thus, the 11 to face the rail would be: Agustín Marchesín; Lucas Blondel or Luis Advíncula, Lautaro Di Lollo, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco; Ander Herrera, Milton Delgado, Kevin Zenón; Carlos Palacios; Milton Giménez and Edinson Cavani.

There are two key factors that push Gago to sustain the formation: the continuity of key pieces and the casualties that continue to affect the squad. On the side of the good news, Edinson Cavani trained normally despite not being 100% physically and traveled to Santiago. The killer already showed that, beyond his lumbar lesion, he does not plan to get off at this difficult time. Something similar happens with Marcos Rojo, who adds his third game followed as a starter after dragging muscle discomfort.

On the other side, the casualties continue to condition. Rodrigo Battaglia, Tomás Belmonte and Rey Domenech are not yet ready, and the same goes for Alan Velasco, which was not summoned for this match either.

But beyond the possible continuity of 11, there is a major challenge, an old debt: Boca needs to start winning away from home. In that condition, he only won seven of the last 30 games away from home. What demonstrates a different face of local and visitor, a deficit that Gago will also seek to change in this new stage.

This Friday, in Santiago del Estero, Xeneize has the chance to be at the top of Zone A. With a team that has to give signs and a DT that, for the first time, could trust the same 11 and that needs a new support for its cycle.
