Estudiantes agreed to the defining duel after beating Boca in the penalty shootout 3 to 1, after equaling 1 to 1 in regular time. The main doubt for coach Eduardo Domínguez is in the team’s attack, since he is pending the evolution of the Colombian Edwin Cetré, who is not in optimal condition despite having played against “xeneize”. If he is not physically well, the former Independiente Medellín could be an alternative to enter the complement, already with the rivals tired, to provide vertigo and depth as happened in the semifinal.
Although there is no confirmation, Domínguez could repeat the same team that won the ticket in the final with Matías Mansilla in goal, Eros Mancuso and Gastón Benedetti would be on the sides, Luciano Lollo and Zaid Romero in the central defense. The midfield will be made up of Santiago Ascacibar, Enzo Pérez, José Sosa, Fernando Zuqui, Thiago Palacios and in the attack Guido Carrillo will only be the area reference.
For its part, Vélez reached this stage after eliminating Godoy Cruz in the quarterfinals and Argentinos Juniors in the semifinals. In the face of this transcendental commitment, coach Gustavo Quinteros has several options within a team that grew widely after a terrible start to the competition, with a historic defeat against River by 5 to 0.
With a young and consolidated base, which has Claudio Aquino as its captain, the “fortin” will try to lift the Cup, but doubt still persists in the formation of the team, since the expulsion of Brian Romero opened the way for two footballer to fill the vacant position. The Uruguayan Thiago Vecino and Alejo Sarco. In addition, Quinteros would make a change to the left back, where Elías Gómez would return for the injured Cavanagh.
