Boca Juniors vs Nacional Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview
Boca Juniors
It has been a rough first part of the season for Boca Juniors, but the team is doing well recently trying to save themselves in the league and find some ground in Copa Libertadores. Gonzalo Morales and Luca Langoni are injured.
Expected lineup: Romero, Weigandt, Figal, Valentini, Fabra, Advincula, Campuzano, Varela, Fernandez, Medina, Merentiel.
Nacional
The biggest issue for the Uruguay team is the lack of efficiency in the last three games when they scored only once. That kind of lackluster performance won't be tolerated in tough surroundings when they face Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires.
Expected lineup: Ichazo, Baez Corradi, Polenta, Bocanegra, Lozano, Y. Rodriguez, D. Rodriguez, Fagundez, Zabala, Trezza, Ramirez.
Player to Watch: Miguel Merentiel
The 27-year-old Uruguay striker has been one of the rare stand-out players for Boca Juniors in a tough season, but one that could get a lot better with a positive result in Copa Libertadores. Merentiel has started only half of the games for Boca Juniors this season in Liga Profesional, but that didn't stop him from becoming the club's best scorer with seven goals.
However, his lack of goals in Copa Libertadores is something that needs to be rectified quickly. Merentiel has been starting even fewer games in the South American competition, but the squad needs him to provide some efficiency if they are to move through the tournament. Merentiel is on loan to Boca Juniors from Palmeiras, that agreement will expire at the end of the calendar year.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
