Independiente vs Boca Juniors: preview

This time next week, Boca Juniors will have completed the second leg of the Copa Libertadores second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid (assuming the game does finally go ahead in the Spanish capital).

Tonight, though the focus is on the domestic Argentine league and Guillermo Barros Schelotto takes his side to Avellaneda to face fifth place Independiente.

It's widely anticipated that the Boca manager will field a team of lesser used players with one eye on the long trans-Atlantic journey and the long anticipated Libertadores second leg final.
