Two clubs chasing Copa Libertadores glory will do battle today in a match between Wanderers and Boca Juniors. The group-stage clash scheduled for 8:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Viera in Montevideo and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Deportes.
What They're Saying
Wanderers goalkeeper Carlos Techera (via Republica): "I can't believe that I'm going to play against Boca. My family still doesn't believe me."
Wanderers manager Alfredo Arias: "They're going to pressure us high up the pitch. I don't know if that will work in their favor, but it can backfire because they will give us space to make them uncomfortable."
Boca Juniors manager Rodolfo Arruabarrena (via DIario Cronica): "We win in general and we've gotten used to winning, but the season is long and the team keeps getting the points we expect."
"The objective is to be in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores by midseason," he added (via La Prensa). "And to be in the top places of the local tournament. Then, it'll be on a game-by-game basis."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Arruabarrena will make a slew of changes in Montevideo on Thursday, but a majority of the club's attacking trio will remain in tact. Chief among them is Jonathan Calleri. In seven appearances this season, the 21-year-old has two goals.
Wanderer's' Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Burian; Olivera, Bueno, Lima, Silva; Martinez, Santos; Verges, Riolfo, Albarracin; Bellini
Boca Junior's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Orion; Marín, Burdisso, Díaz, Monzón; Cristaldo, Erbes, Lodeiro; Martínez, Calleri, Chávez
