The 'Xeneize' presents itself to Lepra at the "Coloso" Marcelo Bielsa Stadium to close the eleventh day of the 2025 Opening Tournament.

This Sunday, the 11th date of the 2025 Opening Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF) ends with the presentation of Boca Juniors as a visitor to Newell's Old Boys.

The 'Xeneize' comes from six consecutive wins in the tournament and wants to extend its positive streak in Rosario. It needs to win to return to the top of the Zona A standings after being overtaken by Tigre, who beat Defensa y Justicia 2-1.

Fernando Gago left the Chilean Carlos Palacios out of the call-up, who was absent from the first training session of the week, which represents a significant loss for his team's offense.
