This weekend will be special for Argentine football as it will be the first time in 18 months that fans in this country have been officially admitted to the stadium will. It also helps that both teams go into this encounter in great form as River has been unbeaten for eight years and is two points ahead of the top of the table.
River wants to face his archenemy for the first time since the 2019 Copa Libertadores semifinals to win. The same tie also marks the last time Boca beat them, as the last four games ended in a draw.
The only caveat was that they went into two of them on penalties and it was Boca who prevailed.
The big speculations are currently in the attack for coach Marcelo Gallardo. In defense, the team is basically set. The Paraguayan international David Martínez is basically out after he was unable to recover from his quad injury.
This brings his national team colleague Robert Rojas into the starting line-up. If there is any good news, it seems that attacker Matías Suárez appears to be fully recovered and all signs point to his starting line-up.
The biggest doubt right now is whether he is the much sought-after off-season signing Braian Romero or midfielder Benjamin Rollheiser, who has been used more consistently in the last few weeks, will play.
Boca is also in top form. Within a few weeks, the Xeneizes rose from third bottom to top six in the league.
There is a possibility that Colombian international Norman Campuzano will become the deep-lying midfielder who is trusted by coach Sebastián Battaglia.
It will also be doubtful whether Battaglia will also start Rodrigo Montes or have Cristián Medina or even Alan Varela in the mix. Including these two would mean a 4-4-2, but with certain tweaks as that would mean Edwin Cardona may or may not be available.River Plate likely XI: Franco Armani; Milton Casco, Robert Rojas, Paulo Díaz, Fabrizio Angileri; Jorge Carrascal, Enzo Perez, Nico De la Cruz; Julián Álvarez, Braian Romero, Matías Suárez
Boca Juniors Probable XI: Diego Rossi, Luis Advíncula, Carlos Izquierdoz, Marcos Rojo, Frank Fabra; Rodrigo Montes, Jorman Campuzano, Agustín Almendra, Edwin Cardona; Cristián Pavón, Nicolás Orsini
