All to play for as Clausura regular season ends with today’s matches | OneFootball

A crucial Monday is coming in the definition of the Clausura, in its regular phase, where Unión will be both judge and participant against Belgrano in Córdoba.

The 2025 Clausura Tournament enters its final chapter this Monday with a day that promises tension from start to finish. The end of the regular phase arrives with multiple open fronts: teams obliged to win, others dependent on external results, some already qualified but with home advantage at stake, and others dreaming of securing a spot in international cups. Nothing is decided and, with few exceptions, everyone has something at stake. Unión will play a key match against Belgrano at the Gigante de Alberdi.

17:00 – Three matches that can change everything

Defensa y Justicia

The Falcon plays its last card: only a win will do. If they secure three points, they will also need Belgrano and Huracán not to win. If that scenario occurs, the qualification will be decided by goal difference. The equation is simple, but difficult.

Independiente Rivadavia

With its place in the 2026 Copa Libertadores guaranteed thanks to the title in the Copa Argentina, the Mendoza Lepra arrives without pressure. Even so, they have no mathematical chance of reaching the Clausura round of 16, so they will be judge, but not participant.

Barracas Central

El Guapo faces an encouraging outlook: a draw places them in the round of 16. If they win, they could also secure their spot in the 2026 Sudamericana, without being tied to repositioning for slots. They have everything to gain.

Huracán

The calculations for Globo are identical to those for Defensa: they need a win and for Belgrano and Defensa y Justicia not to win. If these conditions are met, the pass will be resolved by goal difference. According to the Annual Table, a win by five goals puts them directly in the Sudamericana; if they win by less, they will have to wait for a favorable shift.

Belgrano

The Pirate is playing for everything. The obligation is to win no matter what and then wait for Defensa y Justicia and Huracán not to triumph. Then, the goal difference will determine if they enter the qualifying positions. There is no room for speculation.

Unión

El Tatengue already has its place in the round of 16 secured, but still fights not to lose home advantage. A draw in Córdoba guarantees that the 15 de Abril will host the first leg. A loss, on the other hand, could drag them to positions where other rivals —Central Córdoba, Argentinos, or Barracas— force them to start the final phase away from home.

19:30 – Two teams, two very different realities

Platense

El Calamar will close the tournament without urgencies: as the champion of the Apertura, they already have their spot in the 2026 Libertadores secured. They cannot enter the Clausura round of 16, so this match only represents the farewell to the regular phase.

Gimnasia

El Lobo arrives at the last date with a much more encouraging outlook than a week ago. External results pushed them towards the entrance door: if they defeat Platense, they will qualify seventh. That result would also rearrange the grid: Talleres would become eighth —defining with Boca— and Sarmiento would be eliminated.

A date not to blink

The end of the 2025 Clausura offers one of the most thrilling conclusions in recent years. Several teams arrive with obligations, others with hopes, and some with the pressure of not being left out at the last gasp. Amid calculations, goal differences, and simultaneous matches, this Monday promises a level of drama that can completely change the tournament map.
