Boca Juniors has the presence of Darío Benedetto. The 31-year-old Argentinean player will once again play in an international competition with Boca, where he hopes to fill the rival nets with influential goals.

Teófilo Gutiérrez is not only Deportivo Cali's outstanding player, he is widely known in Colombian soccer for his exceptional ball skills. The 36-year-old from Barranquilla is an old acquaintance of the Xeneize fans and will surely be a difficult player to mark.

In total, the two clubs have met 10 times in the context of the Copa Libertadores. Boca dominates the statistics with five wins, they have drawn four games and Cali has only won one.

The six-time Copa Libertadores champion will be looking for one more victory. To get off to the best possible start, Boca Juniors will have to get out of Group E of the current continental competition, where its first rival is Deportivo Cali.

Deportivo Cali has been having a bad present in the Colombian league, where it occupies the penultimate place in the tournament without many chances of recovering. But the Copa Libertadores could represent a different reality where they can start off on the right foot. The current Colombian champion will have to beat Boca Juniors to start the continental dream in the best possible way.

The Deportivo Cali vs Boca Juniors match will be played at the Palmaseca Monumental Stadium, located in the town of Palmaseca, in the rural area of Palmira, in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. This stadium, inaugurated in 2010, has a capacity for 55,000 spectators.
