Boca Juniors preview: Trying to turn their form around
With four losses in their last five games in the league, Boca Juniors have dropped down the standings all the way to the 17th place. That being said, they are just three points behind places that would secure them continental football next season. Furthermore, they enter this match in good mood after a win over Gimnasia La Plata in Copa Argentina quarter-finals, although they did only win after a penalty shootout.
Meanwhile, Kevin Zenon, and Lucas Janson are on the team's injury list at this time.
Predicted lineup: Brey (GK), Advincula, Anselmino, Rojo, Blanco, Belmonte, Miramon, Aguirre, Zeballos, Merentiel & Cavani

Deportivo Riestra preview: Struggles away from home to continue?
Given that this is Deportivo Riestra's first-ever season in the top flight of Argentinian football, they have been very impressive so far and they sit in ninth place in the standings with 27 points from 18 games. Their recent form has been even more impressive since Deportivo have only lost once in their last seven matches in the league.
However, they have lost six of their eight away games, so that is a reason for concern as they get ready to take on Boca Juniors away from home.
Predicted lineup: Arce (GK), Sayavedra, Nicolas, Paz, Sansotre, Sanchez, Goya, Goitia, Ramirez, Herrera & Alonso

Player to watch: Miguel Merentiel
With six goals in the league this season, Merentiel has been the most consistent offensive threat for Boca Juniors and Deportivo Riestra will have to contain him if they want to get a good result here.
