Both clubs are going through a similar present, without the regularity that their history requires and their supporters and spirits demand, which change week by week based on the results. In the 2024 Professional League they have 21 points each -Gimnasia de La Plata is on the same line- the result of five wins, six draws and three losses and they are ninth and tenth. The team of Marcelo Gallardo is above because he scored 19 goals and 11 were scored against him while the Diego Martinez made the same amount, but received 14.

Last Saturday, Boca lost the classic against Racing 2-1 and the coach was, once again, in the eye of the storm due to the poor campaign as a visitor – they have not won any of the last eight matches. Eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana in the round of 16, Boca is obliged to fight for the domestic competition – they are nine points behind the leader, Vélez – and to win the Copa Argentina, where they will play the quarter-finals against Lobo. In this context, the Superclásico is the third ‘carrot’ they are after and the result of the match will determine the mood for the immediate future.

In the 4-1 victory over Atlético Tucumán for the Professional League, the Millionaire showed its best version since the arrival of Marcelo Gallardo to the bench and his current situation has changed radically, especially because the presence of ‘El Muñeco’ predicts a good future both locally and internationally. But, unlike his rival next Saturday, the team from Núñez has another duel beforehand and it will be this Tuesday against Colo Colo of Chile as a visitor for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores.

Until the rematch with the Argentine team scheduled for Tuesday 23, there are 10 key days for a River that will seek to get into the top four in South America and, at the same time, get closer to Fortín on the local level with a victory at the Bombonera.
