What results Boca need to secure a last-16 place | OneFootball

Xeneize will look to secure qualification for the next round with one match to spare.

After defeating River in the Superclásico, Boca has already turned the page and is now preparing for its away match against Defensa y Justicia, scheduled for next Thursday night at the Norberto Tomaghello Stadium.

This match will be important for the team led by Claudio Úbeda, because if it gets a good result, it could seal qualification for the round of 16 of the local tournament with one match remaining before the end of the regular group stage.

To do so, it will depend on itself. This is because if it manages to beat Halcón de Varela, it will automatically secure qualification, without depending on any other result during the round. In addition, if it wins, it will temporarily climb to second place, above Vélez.

If it draws and San Lorenzo, which is currently in ninth place and outside the round of 16 spots, does not win, it will also secure qualification for the next round. This is because it would be at least six points ahead with only three left to play for.

In addition to this, if Boca loses to Defensa y Justicia, but San Lorenzo also loses its away match against Platense, Úbeda’s team will secure qualification for the round of 16 with one match remaining before the end of the group stage.

Boca will be allowed to bring fans to Varela

After several back-and-forths throughout the week, it was finally decided that Boca will be allowed to bring away fans to Defensa y Justicia’s stadium. Just like in the last meeting between the two in Florencio Varela, Xeneize will have 3,000 tickets available.
