Boca v River in decisive Superclásico: time, referee, line-ups, TV | OneFootball

This Sunday at 16:30, Boca Juniors will host River Plate in a new edition of the Superclásico, corresponding to matchday 15 of the Torneo Clausura. Beyond the historic rivalry, the clash takes on an even greater dimension: both teams are vying for their spot in the next Copa Libertadores through the annual table, making this duel a turning point for their international aspirations.

The Xeneize arrives in great form after defeating Barracas Central and Estudiantes, results that placed them second in the annual table with 55 points, four more than their classic rival. A win or even a draw would guarantee them direct entry into the Libertadores group stage, something they haven't achieved in two seasons. Additionally, by just earning a point, they would secure their qualification to the Clausura round of 16, as they lead Zone A with 23 points and a goal difference of +12.

Boca will make only one change for the Superclásico.

Regarding the team, Claudio Úbeda will maintain the core that has been consolidating in recent matches. The only change from the eleven that defeated Estudiantes will be the inclusion of Leandro Paredes, who returns after serving a one-match suspension for accumulating yellow cards, replacing Tomás Belmonte. The captain will thus play his first Argentine football Superclásico as a starter.

Meanwhile, River arrives amidst turbulence. The 1-0 defeat against Gimnasia at the Monumental sparked the anger of the fans, who demanded deep changes. Marcelo Gallardo is going through the most difficult moment of his tenure, although the club's new president, Stefano Di Carlo, confirmed his continuity by extending his contract until December 2026.

Boca comes from beating Estudiantes 2-1.
