Boca Juniors 2-1 Rosario Central - Liga Profesional 2024 Statistical Preview

Edinson Cavani misses out on this one with a calf injury.
Both Milton Gimenez and Lautaro Blanco are serving suspensions with Marcelo Saracchi and Lautaro Di Lollo making the 23-man squad as a result.

Lequi will likely pick an unchanged side after a win and clean sheet against Atletico Tucuman.
Jaminton Campaz was linked with Boca in recent days so Rosario will be delighted he can take them on here.

Prediction

A number of new additions and close calls on targets has been the general theme of Boca Juniors heading into this one following a competitive end to the window.
Without Edinson Cavani, Milton Gimenez and Lautaro Blanco, Boca continue to be stretched by injury concerns on a weekly basis alongside disciplinary issues.
Matias Lequi has impressed in caretaker charge of Rosario Central, earning him the job on a long-term basis to add some much needed stability to the Club on the field.
A strong home win over Atletico Tucuman following their Sudamericana exit was much needed for Rosario Central and they delivered.
