Talleres de Cordoba will welcome Boca Juniors to the Estadio Francisco Cabases on Sunday, with three points on the line in the Argentine Primera Division.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat away to city rivals Central Cordoba. Milton Gimenez scored the match-winner in injury time after Juan Komar's own goal had put the home side ahead in the first half.
Boca Juniors suffered a 2-0 defeat to San Lorenzo on home turf on Wednesday. Gino Peruzzi and Nestor Ortigoza scored in each half to give the visitors all three points.
That defeat left Las Azul y Oro in 23rd spot, with just two points picked up from three games so far. Talleres Cordoba are one point better off in the 18th spot.
