- Recent signing Ciro Rius could get a start on the right of the attack in one of few changes from the side that lifted the title last season.
- Marcelo Herrera looks to be the one partner for Diego Braghieri in central defence after the sale of Gustavo Gomez to AC Milan.
- The Transicion's leading scorer Jose Sand will continue to lead the line and perhaps the player of the season Miguel Almiron will be providing the thrust from midfield.
- Carlos Tevez will of course take centre stage for Boca again this season but will now be playing in behind new centre forward Dario Benedetto.
- Youngster Cristian Pavon will provide the pace to the attack and Gonzalo Castellani looks to be preferred to Fernando Zuqui on the right.
- Rodrigo Bentancur starts in midfield despite strong interest from Italian clubs alongside Pablo Perez, himself the subject of transfer speculation.
- Former Sunderland defender Santiago Vergini will form the centre of defence with Juan Insaurralde.
