HTH
This will be the first match between Boca Juniors and Benfica.
Boca Juniors Form
Boca Juniors haven’t won in their previous two matches in the Liga Profesional, dropping to third on the table as a result. A 2-1 defeat at River Plate was followed by a 1-1 draw at Tigre.
Mariano Herron’s side turned their attentions to the Apertura play-offs, getting past Lanus in a penalty shootout. Their campaign came to a close in the quarter-finals following a 1-0 loss against Independiente.
It proved to be Herron’s last game in charge, the manager replaced by Miguel Angel Russo.
Benfica Form
Benfica failed to win their final three matches in Portugal, starting with a 1-1 draw against Sporting CP that dented their Primeira Liga ambitions.
Bruno Lage’s side drew 1-1 at Braga on the final matchday. Vangelis Pavlidis equalised in the 63rd minute but they couldn’t take advantage after playing against 10 men for the final 24 minutes.
The Eagles looked set to beat Sporting in the Portuguese Cup final. Leading 1-0 with time running out, they conceded a late penalty and two goals in extra time to go down 3-1 to their Lisbon rivals.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Boca Juniors (4-2-3-1): Agustin Marchesin; Lucas Blondel, Rodrigo Battaglia, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco; Miltno Delgado, Ander Herrera; Exequiel Zeballos, Carlos Palacios, Kevin Zenon; Milton Merentiel
Marco Pellegrino is out injured with Edinson Cavani and Luis Advincula doubtful.
Benfica (4-3-3): Anatoliy Trubin; Tomas Araujo, António Silva, Nicolas Otamendi, Alvaro Carreras; Fredrik Aursnes, Florentino Luis, Orkun Kokcu; Angel Di Maria, Vangelis Pavlidis, Kerem Akturkoglu
Defender Alexander Bah remains out alongside midfielder Manu Silva.
Alvaro Carreras should start despite rumours linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
Verdict
Boca Juniors are contesting their first match under new manager Miguel Angel Russo. Benfica have a class advantage here and more stability, Vangelis Pavlidis to fire the Eagles to victory.
