Overview
- Racing will face River at the Cilindro de Avellaneda, currently scheduled behind closed doors due to an Aprevide sanction.
- Boca opens against Talleres in one of the headline pairings after the group stage concluded on Monday.
- Other ties include Vélez–Argentinos, Unión–Gimnasia, Deportivo Riestra–Barracas Central, Central Córdoba–San Lorenzo, and Rosario Central–Estudiantes.
- Most matches are planned for this weekend at the higher-seeded venues, while Lanús–Tigre may be delayed because Lanús plays the Copa Sudamericana final in Asunción.
- Boca and River landed on the same half of the bracket, so a Superclásico rematch could only occur in the semifinals, and group results also confirmed Tigre’s 2026 Sudamericana berth plus relegations for San Martín (SJ) and Godoy Cruz as Aldosivi secured survival.
