How they come into the match

The Boca side is coming off a true display of quality against Atlético Tucumán in the previous round. With a commanding 3-0 win, the youngsters showed why they finished top of their group during the regular phase. Now, motivation is sky-high ahead of the most anticipated match of the season.

Boca knocked out Atlético Tucumán, while River did the same against Lanús.

Standing opposite will be their lifelong arch-rivals, who arrive after eliminating Lanús with a 3-1 win in their tie. Due to the excellent campaign in the first stage of the tournament, where Xeneize collected 36 points and topped Group B, home advantage will once again be a key factor. The club’s youngsters will look to make home field count in order to secure the longed-for ticket to the final.
