Overview
- The Superclásico is set for Sunday at 16:30 at La Bombonera with live coverage on ESPN Premium and TNT Sports.
- Boca sits on 56 points after beating Estudiantes 2–1, while River has 52 after a 1–0 home loss to Gimnasia, with two counting fixtures left.
- The annual table awards a direct group-stage place to the second-ranked team, and Boca needs three of the final six points to secure that position; a win on Sunday would clinch it.
- River is third and at risk of slipping toward Sudamericana places as Argentinos Juniors and Deportivo Riestra trail by one point; Boca later hosts Tigre and River visits Vélez.
- Rosario Central has already locked first place via the annual table, Platense qualified as Apertura champion, and Clausura playoffs will not add points toward the annual standings, with potential champion overlaps freeing additional berths.
