This will be an exciting match in La Bombonera, as the Sabaleros will have it difficult against the recently awakened Xeneizes.
Sunday's late game will be a test of fire for Claudio Borghi and his squad, as Boca Juniors will feature its fittest players in an attempt to join the race for the title before its goes beyond reach. Antonio Mohammed's Colon will be missing their top striker Esteban Fuertes but the presence of gunners like Federico Higuain and Joaquin Larrivey is likely to cause havoc behind Boca's defensive lines. Who would claim this decisive three points?

Borghi chooses the most experienced to receive Colon

Boca's coach Claudio Borghi had to go through a rocky patch to understand the inner workings of his squad, but the last two victories boosted the spirit of the crowds that now believe it's possible to live to fight for the title for the rest of the tournament.

"We need to enter on a winning streak... We are not that far away from the top and we can make it" were Borghi's declarations, and for that reason he'll maintain the 4-4-2 formation that granted them a clear victory over Olimpo last week.

Young Cristian Erbes, aged only 20, will be once again Sebastian Battaglia's partner in the defense, to let Clemente Rodriguez join the offense without worrying so much for keeping Colon's right midfielders under control.

Cristian Chavez will lead the offense, responsible for feeding Martin Palermo and Lucas Viatri. Colon will have to do things extremely well to stop Boca's strikers and claim the three points in this week's clash.

A ghost in town

Esteban Fuertes will be missing a second major match with Colon, as after suffering a minor injury that forbid him from performing against Racing Club (He entered in the second half and scored a goal) he developed a high fever during the week and won't be part of the squad visiting La Bombonera.

Young Lucas Mugni is expected to take over his place, as he'll have to join Joaquin Larrivey and Federico Higuain in the offense. Pipita's brother, former River Plate's player believes this match will be defining for the Sabaleros. "We can get a lot of momentum by defeating a giant as Boca as we climb towards the top" were Pipita's brother declarations.

Ronald Raldes is likely to return to the starting eleven taking over Marcelo Goux's place in the defense. Former Boca Juniors player Damian Diaz will not be able to perform, and Mohammed will have to receive a lot of help from above to stand against Boca's furious attacks.
