Norberto Briasco is close to a switch to Gimnasia, which will likely see him depart before this fixture takes place.
Cristian Lema returned from injury in midweek, while Marcos Rojo was an unused substitute and will no doubt not be risked here.

Eric Remedi returned in midweek from his knee sprain, while Malcolm Braida's injury is of a more severe prognosis in the same area.

Prediction

A vital first leg home victory over Cruzeiro in midweek Copa Sudamericana action continued the upward trajectory of Boca Juniors.
With pressure on Diego Martinez in the dugout, support from senior figure Edinson Cavani alongside recent results will no doubt have solidified his place in charge.
While San Lorenzo have current focus on the Libertadores following their 1-1 draw in midweek, they cannot take their eye off a perilous league position.
Woeful displays for El Ciclon have seen them in real fear of a place towards the bottom of the league and they need to prove their worth here.
