Boca will host Argentinos Juniors this Sunday at La Bombonera, in a decisive clash for the quarterfinals of the 2025 Torneo Clausura. Both arrive as strong title contenders and the match promises maximum tension.

The match will kick off at 18:30, broadcast on ESPN Premium and TNT Sports Premium. Fernando Echenique will be the main referee and Lucas Novelli will be in charge of the VAR.

Boca’s great moment

The team led by Claudio Úbeda is experiencing its best moment of the year. The Xeneize has racked up five consecutive victories: 3-1 against Barracas Central, 2-1 over Estudiantes, 2-0 over River, 2-0 over Tigre, and 2-0 over Talleres. This solid streak led them to finish first in Zone A with 29 points and secure their qualification for the 2026 Copa Libertadores.

In the round of 16, Boca eliminated Talleres with a clear 2-0, once again at La Bombonera. However, Úbeda knows that this Sunday’s challenge will be greater.

Argentinos, a tough and consistent opponent

On the other side will be Argentinos Juniors, one of the most consistent teams of the year under the management of Nicolás Diez. The Bicho finished fifth in Zone A with 25 points and comes from defeating Vélez 2-0 with a brace from Hernán López Muñoz, their most decisive player.

Given their current form and consistency, both are positioned as strong title contenders, making this clash one of the most attractive of the stage.

The winner’s path

The winner of the match between Boca and Argentinos will face the winner of Racing vs. Tigre in the semifinals, which will be played on Monday at the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
