What results Boca need to secure their place in the last 16 | OneFootball

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

After beating 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 clash will be important for the team led by Claudio Úbeda, because if they get a good result, they could seal their place in the round of 16 of the local tournament with one match remaining before the end of the group stage.

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

If they draw and San Lorenzo, who are currently in ninth place and outside the round of 16 spots, fail to win, they will also secure qualification for the next round. This is because they would hold at least a six-point lead with only three left to play for.

Besides that, if Boca lose to Defensa y Justicia, but San Lorenzo also lose their away match against Platense, Úbeda’s side will qualify for the round of 16 with one match still to be played before the end of the group stage.

Boca will be able 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.
