Tigre vs Boca Juniors Match Preview
During Tigre's match against Huracan Maxi Oliva suffered an injury in it's face and he will be sidelined for the whole tournament, joining Ruben Botta, though his place will be carefully guarded by young Uruguayan star Choy González. Without Ruben Botta's magic, Caruso Lombardi will have to think of a way to surprise Boca, as Xeneizes' midfield playing is something to be afraid of. Luck do not seem to be on his side for this week, so wits must become their ace to take the upper hand.
Abel Alves has a lot on his mind during this last days. It's been years since Boca had such a disastrous beginning of a tournament, and team's coach is being highly regarded as a threat to Boca's future. Even worst, Jesus Mendez had a problem in its right foot and it'll be unlikely to see him on the fields. Martin Palermo is just one goal away from becoming team's top historical striker, and his continuity within the starting eleven will be mandatory for the Loco to travel to South Africa. This match will give team's young players another opportunity to show what they're capable of, as team's coach has shown he only cares about player's performance rather than their historical weight.
