Boca Juniors vs River Plate: Team news
Boca Juniors get to the Superclásico on the back of a heartbreaking loss against Racing Club, which damaged their options to hop back on the title race. Diego Martínez and his men are still unbeaten when playing at La Bombonera, with four wins and two draws to their name, and which they will try to use as a boost when they lock horns with their bitter rivals. The team's top scorer in the 2024 Liga Profesional is Miguel Merentiel with five goals to his name.
On the other side of the pitch, River Plate chose the best time to finally give coach Marcelo Gallardo his first win adter returning to the team over a month ago. Gallardo led River to four draws in a row before last week's 4-1 victory over Atlético Tucumán. That win was also enough to see Los Millonarios leapfrogging Boca thanks to their better goal difference. The club will try to make the most of Miguel Borja's form, as the Colombian co-leads the league in goals scored with seven successful shots to the back of the net. Needless to say, one of those would come in handy to walk away from La Bombonera with all the points.
Unavailable players: Both teams will have to fight for this three points without three footballers. The hosts are bound to welcome River without Gary Medel, Lucas Blondel, and Brian Aguirre. Meanwhile, Los Millonarios enter La Bombonera without recent signing Maxi Meza, Rodrigo Aliendro and Pity Martínez, one of the heroes of that well-remembered Copa Libertadores final between these South American titans.
