Boca Juniors preview: Couple of suspensions to deal with
Boca received not one, but two red cards in their 2-2 draw against Benfica last time out. Influential central midfield player Ander Herrera was one of them, and he will be missed dearly.
Predicted lineup: Marchesin (GK), Blanco, Costa, Figal, Advincula, Battaglia, Belmonte, Palacios, Velasco, Zenon & Merentiel

Player to watch: Jamal Musiala
Jamal Musiala stole the headlines for Bayern Munich last time out, as he scored a hat-trick in their 10-0 thumping of Auckland City in their opening fixture of the tournament. They were the Germany international's 19th, 20th and 21st goals of the season in all competitions, an impressive tally for a player who pre-dominantly plays in the middle of the park.
Musiala has also grabbed eight assists, showing just how much of an influence that he has on the team. Nonetheless, a player like Musiala can make all the difference against a team that will try to be hard to break down in Boca Juniors.
