San Martin SJ vs Boca Junior - Stats, analysis and predictions
Today at night Argentina (UTC -3) at exactly 9:00 pm, will be facing the suspended date of the 12th. date of the super league San Martin SJ vs Boca Junior.
In the midst of a moving pass market, Boca, the two-time Argentine soccer champion, will seek to return to victory in San Juan and move closer to the qualification zone for the Copa Libertadores 2020.
The team of Gustavo Alfaro, who made his debut last Sunday with a 1-1 draw against Newell's in Rosario, has 25 points and is five from Hurricane, the last in the cup zone, and 14 from the leader Racing Club.
San Martin is also urged of a triumph but for a different objective: the permanence in the maximum category.
The "verdinegro", who resumed the competition also with a 1-1 draw, as a visitor, against Banfield, is just outside the relegation zone with one point more than Patronato.
In football, Alfaro will appeal to the rotation in the offensive and will make a forced variant in the middle of the field due to the departure of the Colombian Wilmar Barrios.
Mauro Zárate will enter for Carlos Tevez and Ramón Ábila for Darío Benedetto, for the rotation decided by the coaching staff and not for tactical reasons, as the two players replaced will return on Sunday against Godoy Cruz.
While Jorman Campuzano will have his presentation from the start by his compatriot Barrios.
Another drop is that of the Uruguayan midfielder Nahitán Nández, who was shaping up as a starter but suffered from a traumatism in his left foot.
On the side of San Martin, coach Rubén Forestello plans changes as he was not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half against Banfield.
On the left side could debut Ian Escobar, one of the reinforcements, and in the midfield Mauro Bogado would do the same.
In the front there is also a doubt, since the Colombian Humberto Osorio entered well in the last game and could replace Emanuel Dening.
Boca and San Martin record 12 records with eight wins of "xeneize" against one of the "saint" (the historic 6-1 Boca de Carlos Bianchi) in 2013) and three draws.
Probable formations
San Martín: Luis Ardente; Gonzalo Prósperi, Juan Mattia, Arián Pucheta and Gianni Rodríguez or Ian Escobar; Fernando Brandán, Marcos Gelabert, Matías Fissore or Mauro Bogado and Francisco Grahl; Emanuel Dening or Humberto Osorio and Pablo Palacios Alvarenga. DT: Rubén Forestello.
Boca: Esteban Andrada; Julio Buffarini, Carlos Izquierdoz, Junior Alonso and Emmanuel Más; Ivan Marcone and Jorman Campuzano; Cristian Pavón, Mauro Zárate, Emanuel Reynoso; and Ramón Ábila. DT: Gustavo Alfaro.
Predictions
In my opinion, the xeneixes have everything in their favor to reduce the distance with the first one in the table. Today the bets mark him as a clear favorite, I think he will have a quiet victory by 2 to 0 although they play as visitors.
