Boca Juniors host Lanus in the Liga Profesional, with Rodolfo Arruabarrena's side looking to build on a mixed run of results at La Bombonera.
Boca come into this match having drawn three of their last five Liga Profesional games, most recently sharing the points with Racing Club in a 1-1 draw on August 24. Their Copa Sudamericana campaign has provided some relief, with back-to-back wins over Recoleta keeping their continental ambitions alive.
Lanus arrive in difficult shape. Mauricio Pellegrino's side have won just one of their last five matches across all competitions, and a 3-1 defeat to Independiente on August 17 underlined the defensive fragility that has plagued them in recent weeks.
In the standings, both clubs occupy eighth place in Clausura Group A, which gives this fixture added weight for either side looking to climb the table. Boca sit second in Apertura Group A, while Lanus are fifth, adding further context to the stakes involved.
Recent head-to-head history favours the hosts. Boca won 3-0 at Lanus's ground back in March 2026, and that result will be fresh in both dressing rooms.
