- Boca Juniors host São Paulo at La Bombonera in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals, with kickoff at 9:30 p.m. and ESPN broadcasting the match.
- Leandro Paredes returns to Boca's starting lineup, while São Paulo arrive after a 2-0 win over Atlético Mineiro.
- Boca lead the teams' 12-match international record with five wins to São Paulo's four, with three draws.
La Bombonera erupted when the stadium announcer confirmed Leandro Paredes in Boca's starting lineup. The captain returns after resting during last weekend's match against Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza.
Paredes had left the field late in Boca's Copa Argentina match against Vélez because of an adductor problem. He will now start in a quarterfinal first leg that begins at 9:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN.
Rodolfo Arruabarrena named Álvaro Montero; Leandro Lozano, Lautaro Di Lollo, Facundo Herrera and Lautaro Blanco; Santiago Ascacíbar, Leandro Paredes, Tomás Belmonte and Alan Velasco; Miguel Merentiel and Leonel Flores. São Paulo coach Dorival Júnior selected Rafael; Arboleda, Domingos Duarte and Sabino; Lucas Ramon, Pablo Maia, Marcos Antônio and Iago; Artur, Luciano and Calleri.
The Brazilian side reached the match after beating Atlético Mineiro 2-0 at the Morumbí. It sits 10th in the Brasileirão with 33 points and eliminated Bolívar in the previous Sudamericana round.
The clubs have met 12 times in international competitions, but never in the Copa Libertadores. Boca have won five meetings, São Paulo four, and three ended in draws. Their most recent meeting came in 2007, when São Paulo won 1-0 at the Morumbí in the Sudamericana. Chilean referee Piero Maza will lead the match, with Fernando Vejar on VAR.
