Boca Juniors vs Racing Club Match Preview
Without any doubts, the Xeneizes are standing at a compromised position, after many changes regarding team's manager and directives, Abel Alves has been doing the impossible to make the team function properly, but five draws in seven matches are showing something is missing in his strategy. Against Velez the team clearly showed its main weakness: Defense. Without Pato Abondanzzieri Boca's goal has been easily beaten, receiving 13 goals in just seven matches. At least Nicolas Gaitan, Roman Riquelme and Martin Palermo showed the three of them are enough to lean any match towards Boca's side. El Loco Palermo is just one goal away from becoming team's top historical striker, and it's not like him to delay the glory.
A quick look at the relegation table shows Racing floating above the Relegation limit, and without a victory they'll surely touch the bottom. Claudio Bieler gave it's team an important point against Huracan with a raging strike from over 40 meters away, but it has not been enough to ease their quest for the category. Team's coach Miguel Angel Russo recognized the importance of the two points lost "we'll have to pay for the mistakes we've made" but they might run out of time unless they surprise everyone on their trip to La Bombonera.
