After what was the long and tedious trip to Potosí (Bolivia), where they drew goalless against Nacional in their debut for the 2024 Copa Sudamericana, Boca Juniors must quickly turn the page and focus on the final stretch of the regular phase of the Professional League Cup 2024, seeking to get into the eliminatory playoffs to aspire for the title.
Although they are temporarily out of the qualifying zone, they still have a match to play (vs Estudiantes), and now they will have the chance to face Newell's Old Boys, who are currently third in Zone B. We review Boca's possible lineup alongside the news, at the time of the meeting that will be this coming Saturday starting at 5:00 p.m. local time.

The doubt in the formation of Mouth waiting for the formal rehearsal is yes Cristian Lema will continue as the first central marker or if Nicolás Figal will return insteadalready recovered from the sprained knee that sidelined him from the fields.
Edinson Cavani did not even travel, like Blondel, injured: their respective replacements will be Miguel Merentiel and Guillermo Fernándeztwo footballers with a lot of experience and who could easily be starters on any Argentine football team.
Speaking of experience, “Leprosy” will feature the return of Ever Banega although he will lose Rodrigo Fernández Cedrés, expelled vs Sarmiento. The most likely thing is the entry of Jerónimo Cacciabúe, and the other option is that Esteban Fernández remains in the team and that Banega is the one who stands as a double five alongside Julián Fernández.
Goalkeeper: Leandro Brey;
Defenders: Luis Advíncula, Cristian Lema or Nicolás Figal, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco
Flyers: Pol Fernández, Ezequiel Fernández, Kevin Zenón; Christian Medina
Forwards: Luca Langoni and Miguel Merentiel.
