Boca Juniors – Fluminense preview: Recent form, news, and possible lineups
Check out the latest news on these teams here, including the most likely Boca Juniors vs Fluminense lineups:
Boca Juniors
While their fans won't worry about it too much given that Boca Juniors are back in Copa Libertadores final, the team is actually struggling in Copa de la Liga Profesional where they have only won 11 points from the same number of matches and are currently in the 23rd position in the standings. Obviously the team's focus has been on Copa Libertadores as they look to win their 7th title in the competition. Not only that, but they managed to break the hegemony of Brazilian teams after three finals in a row in which we only saw them.
When it comes to team news, Boca Juniors will be without injured Exequiel Zeballos, as well as Marcos Rojo who is suspended for this game after being sent off in second leg of semi-finals against Palmeiras.
Boca Juniors predicted lineup:
Romero – Weigandt, Rojo, Figal, Valentini, Fabra – Barco, P. Fernandez, E. Fernandez – Cavani, Merentiel
Fluminense
Just like their rival in Copa Libertadores final, Fluminense's form in their domestic championship has been far from impressive recently and the team only managed to win 1 of their last 7 games, losing 5 of those matches in the process. On the bright side, Fluminense is back in the final of the top continental competition for the second time ever and only time since 2008 when they lost to LDU Quito.
Meanwhile, Jorge remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury, but he is the only player who will miss the game for Fluminense as they look to win Copa Libertadores for the first time in history, at their home ground, the famous Maracana.
Fluminense predicted lineup:
Fabio – Xavier, Marlon, Nino, Marcelo – Andre – Ganso, Arias, Keno – Kennedy, Cano

Player to watch: German Cano
One of the key factors in Fluminense's historic run to the final of Copa Libertadores is German Cano. The 35-year-old is having his arguably best season ever, especially in the premier continental competition in South America. After all, he is the top scorer in the competition with 12 goals. More importantly, he's been fantastic in the knockout stages, scoring 6 goals in 4 games since quarter-finals.
