Overview
- Under the Anual table rules, the top two qualify directly: Rosario Central is in, Boca sits second on 56 points and clinches with a win, and River is third on 52 needing victory to avoid the repechaje.
- Nicolás Ramírez will referee, with assistants Pablo González and Juan Pablo Belatti, Héctor Paletta on VAR, Sebastián Habib as AVAR, and Pablo Giménez as fourth official.
- The match will air on ESPN Premium and TNT Sports, with streaming on Flow, DGO and Telecentro Play.
- Boca confirmed Paredes as starter in midfield, with Claudio Úbeda weighing Ander Herrera versus Carlos Palacios for the remaining slot alongside Milton Delgado.
- River arrives on a poor run with five losses in its last six league matches, as Marcelo Gallardo continues with board backing and a one‑year extension from president Stefano Di Carlo.
