Vélez Sársfield vs Boca Juniors Match Preview
Tigre Gareca learned his lesson last week, and he'll have to show he's ready to take the tournament seriously if he wants to be crowned champion with his team. For this match the whole squad will return to the Jose Amalfitani, with only one absence, Nicolas Dominguez who has been called by Diego Maradona to play for Argentina against Germany. In his place, Tigre Gareca will be able to count with Maxi Moralez, (in spite of being red-carded last week) team's main assister and natural leader. Santiago Silva and Hernan Lopez will be ready to join their forces against Xeneize's defensive lines.
Boca is not going through its best streak in the league, but thanks to Martin Palermo they've managed to remain competitive, standing at the 12th position. El Loco, league's top striker is just one goal away of becoming a legend by overcoming Roberto Cherro as team's most prolific striker, and such honor will also draw Maradona's attention towards the Titan, who dreams with a place in South Africa. Gary Medel is experiencing some back problems, so his place might be taken by Santiago Villafañe, and if Jesus Mendez is not yet recovered from a heel problem by Wednesday, Sebastian Prediger is likely to fill in for him against a serious candidate for the title
