Clausura Playoff Race Narrows: Four From Zona B Clinch as Zona A Heads to Final Two Rounds

Two rounds remain in a crowded Zona A, with goal difference poised to decide the final berths.

Overview

  • Rosario Central, Deportivo Riestra, Lanús and Vélez have officially secured playoff spots from Zona B. Boca Juniors and Unión lead Zona A on 23 points with Central Córdoba on 22, and seven teams bunched within three points with two matchdays left.
  • Projected brackets differ by outlet, with one slate showing Boca vs Talleres and Unión vs San Martín SJ, while another projects Boca vs Sarmiento and Unión vs Talleres based on current relegation standings.
  • San Martín de San Juan could be barred from the playoffs if relegated or forced into a relegation playoff, a rule that would open a slot for the next team in line.
  • Direct clashes among contenders and goal-difference tiebreaks are likely to reshape the final eight, with Racing currently ninth in Zona A and Independiente sitting 13th in Zona B.
