Boca and River play to see if extra Libertadores spot is available | OneFootball

There are three matches left to determine if Boca qualifies for next year's Copa Libertadores through the annual table. Although if they qualify for the playoffs, they will have the chance to fight for the Torneo Clausura 2025 title to secure the champion's spot, they could have a slight advantage before the clash against River.

The Xeneize faces the Millonario on Sunday, November 9, in a decisive match, regardless of what happens in the previous matchday. Before the Superclásico, Úbeda's team will visit Estudiantes while Gallardo's team will host Gimnasia, and the results will make them keep an eye on the Copa Argentina's outcome.

Boca comes from a win against Barracas and visits Estudiantes before the Superclásico.

As of now, Boca leads River in the annual table and holds the second place with 53 points, just one point ahead of their lifelong rival, who is currently in third place. If they finish this way, the Millonario will play the first phase of next year's Libertadores. Two points behind are Riestra and Argentinos Juniors, currently in the Copa Sudamericana zone, but the Bicho could provide relief to the two most important clubs in the country.

If Boca and River do not win in the next matchday where they face the teams from La Plata, Argentinos could surpass both in the annual table. For that, the Bicho must earn three points against Barracas Central. It is worth noting that if Argentinos wins the federal tournament, they will only free up a spot if they finish in second or third place in the accumulated standings.

The Superclásico will be played after the Copa Argentina final.

In any case, Deportivo Riestra could spoil the chances of an extra spot. The team from Nueva Pompeya has the same points as the Bicho and a chance to surpass the Xeneize and the Millonario. If that happens, there will be no additional spot for the Libertadores. The Malevo will visit San Lorenzo in the next matchday.

When Boca plays against Estudiantes

After the victory over Barracas Central in the postponed match, the Xeneize will play again as a visitor next Sunday, November 2. The match against Estudiantes de La Plata, which will be held at the UNO Jorge Luis Hirschi stadium, will start at 4 PM.
