Boca’s home game against Union Bahia matches a team near the top of the early standings with a team still searching for consistency. Boca’s 5-1 record has it among the early leaders, while Union Bahia’s 1-5 mark has the visitors looking for a second win. The game is set for Friday, and it will be Boca’s first home game since its loss to Independiente. Boca will be back at home later in its upcoming stretch, while Union Bahia will remain on the road for two more games after its home date with El Bigua.
