What They're Saying
Boca Juniors manager Rodolfo Arruabarrena (via MDZ): "Now, we have to rest and prepare for Thursday's game. Andres [Cubos] played a great game against Temperley. He is a product of the club, and he makes me happy."
Wanderers manager Alfredo Arias (via Ole): "We do not recognize the [Boca Juniors] players, but we will once this game starts. [My players were] amazed with La Bombonera. The only thing money can't buy is the ball and we have to play with it. We can win, but not with names. Instead with illusion, which is one of the most important drivers of life."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: It took Boca Juniors' Sebastiaan Palacios all of 28 minutes to match his 2014 goal total in 2015. The 23-year-old finished with two goals in 18 appearances with Arsenal last season. He matched that total in his debut with Boca Juniors. He'll look for a repeat performance in the Copa Libertadores on Thursday.
Boca Juniors' Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Orion; Marin, Burdisso, Torsiglieri, Colazo; Erbes, Gago; Lodeiro; Palacios, Osvaldo, Chavez
Wanderers' Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Burian; Silva, Lima, Bueno, Maximiliano; Martinez, Rodriguez; Albarracin, Riolfo, Verges; Rodriguez
