Boca Juniors preview: Hoping to find a consistent form
In the last five matches in all competitions, Boca Juniors have notched three wins and two draws, so it seems that they have finally found their rhythm after a slow start to the new season. Still, with eight points from six games in Primera Division, Boca Juniors remain in the lower half of the standings for now.
When it comes to team news, Boca will have to manage without Ezequiel Fernandez, Cristian Medina, Leandro Brey, and Kevin Zenon, who are with the national team at the Olympics. Also, Nicolas Figal and Marcelo Saracchi are on the team's injury list right now.
Predicted lineup: Romero (GK), Gorosito, Lollo, Medel, Fabra, Belmonte, Fernandez, Delgado, Aguirre, Merentiel & Cavani
