Boca have been on an awful run of form of late, having not won since their penalty shootout success against Lanus in May.
The last time they won a game in 90 minutes was April 20 with the 2-0 win over Estudiantes.
Their recent results include losing to Bayern Munich and drawing to Auckland City at the Club World Cup.
While they have also struggled in the Primera Division, having not won once in their three second-phase games.

Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Huracan meant that the streak is the club's longest without a win in their history.
As tensions have heightened, Rojo has been exiled from the squad by manager Miguel Angel Russo and his staff.
ESPN Argentina claim the decision to throw out the former Red Devil was made after an argument between him and the coaching staff.
Rojo, 35, is not the only player to be banned from the first team, as he is training with the also banished Marcelo Saracchi and Cristian Lema.

The report claims that the decision will "not be reversed" and Rojo could even have his contract terminated.
This would be the end of the defender's career at Boca and leaving him looking for a new club.

It has also been revealed that the three stars are not even allowed to use the locker rooms at Boca's Xeneiza training centre.
Rojo is believed to have already asked to leave the club but has not received any offers.
The last time he featured for the team was in the penalty shootout win over Lanus.
Rojo joined Manchester United back in 2014 from Sporting Lisbon for £16million.
He won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League during his time in England.
However, a cruciate ligament injury in 2017 marked the beginning of the end of Rojo's Old Trafford career.
Having played 95 times in the first three years, the following three saw Rojo feature in just 27 games.

John Stones warns Man City have ‘fire in our bellies' after disappointing season
City surrendered the crown they won in the previous four seasons to Liverpool during an underwhelming 2024-25 campaign. Defender Stones believes lessons have been learned and has detected a strong desire to put things right since the players have reported for pre-season training. To me, to you 💫🥶 — Manchester City (@ManCity) August 5, 2025 The England international said: 'It was humbling for us after all the success that we've had. 'It makes us realise what we've done, what we've achieved over the years and how proud we should be, but we're obviously frustrated at what we did last season. It's not what we want to replicate. 'To finish third, three or four points behind Arsenal is – to our standards – not good, (nor) how we played through the season. 'We've got to put that right and get back to our identity, get back to winning matches and having that presence about us and believing in ourselves as a team. 'I'm sure we'll find that and bring it back because it was tough last season to go through what we did. We've definitely come back with that fire in our bellies to go and achieve.' Stones is now fit after an injury-hit past season but was not risked by manager Pep Guardiola during the Club World Cup in the summer. Despite not featuring, the 31-year-old made emphatically clear when speaking to media during that tournament that he would not be leaving the club. Entering the final year of his contract, there had been speculation about his future but the former Everton player hopes that has now been shut down. He said: 'It's laughable to me. I understand why people do it but there's nothing to comment on. 'I love it here, nothing's happening. I'm here to fight and play and hopefully win some trophies.' Stones was speaking as City held an open training session alongside the club's women's side at the Joie Stadium on the fringe of their training complex on Tuesday. Together 🩵 — Manchester City (@ManCity) August 5, 2025 City now have a friendly at Palermo on Saturday before facing Wolves in their opening Premier League game at Molineux on August 16. The side is taking on a different shape with new signings Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Tijjani Reijnders having been integrated during the Club World Cup, in which City reached the last 16. Their arrivals continued a squad refresh after the signings of Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis in January. Stones said: 'Things evolve, football evolves, and the guys that have come in have been great. 'It takes a bit of time, obviously, to get used to the style of play, what's expected, but the guys have come in for a reason. 'With the quality that they've got, the aspects of the game are different from what we've had in the past. I'm excited to play with them and see what they do.'
