The eleven with which they will seek to win at the Bombonera

 

They have played two matches at this stadium, neither of which they have won, but in the most recent one they managed to draw. If they win today, it will be their first win of the 2024 season as visitors and their second of the season.

They have won only one of their last five home games. In this season, the two matches they have played at the Bombonera have been tied. They will be looking for their first home win today.
