Boca Juniors welcome Monagas to the Alberto Jose Armando Stadium in their final group game of the Copa Libertadores on Thursday (June 29).
The hosts are assured of a berth in the knockouts, as they have ten points from five games, five more than third-placed Monagas. In their previous outing, Marcelo Weigandt's 55th-minute winner helped Boca to a 1-0 win over Colo-Colo.
Mongagas, meanwhile, recorded their first win of the season last time around. Edanyilber Navas' 19th-minute penalty helped them beat Deportivo Pereira 1-0 at home.
This is a must-win game for them, as a loss could see them finish last in the group, missing out on the spot in the Copa Sudamericana playoffs.
