The high-voltage definition includes another series of variants, since Boca can also be champion if it obtains the same result as Racing, that is, if both lose or tie, while if they are tied on 51 points there will be a final to be played possibly on Wednesday. next on a neutral court and with both fans.
Boca, led by Hugo Ibarra, remained the only leader after beating Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata 2-1 just 48 hours ago in the La Plata forest, in a match in which he suffered the significant loss of Darío “Pipa” Benedetto, a injured more for a squad that is physically exhausted.
It is that Boca was the protagonist throughout the year, obtaining the League Cup under the technical direction of Battaglia, who was fired after the elimination in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Corinthians, when he fell in a penalty shootout.
Then, with Ibarra as DT, the “Xeneizes” recovered in the domestic tournament and are also semi-finalists in the Argentine Cup (the next rival will be the relegated Patronato), which speaks of a leading team on all fronts during 2022.

In the case of Boca, injuries sidelined captain Marcos Rojo (torn ligaments) in the final stretch, Exequiel Zeballos from Santiago more time ago and due to a serious ankle injury, and also Colombian Sebastián Villa for 40 days until He was able to reappear last Sunday in Rosario against “Ñuls” and then had an outstanding entry in La Plata.
In this context, Ibarra will outline a team that will have Luis Vázquez in the offensive replacing “Pipa” Benedetto to accompany Luca Langoni, the great appearance of the club’s lower divisions with decisive goals that raised the team to the top.
For his part, the Colombian Frank Fabra, scorer of the first goal in the victory in La Plata, will also be in the game despite the fact that he is at the physical limit due to a discomfort in his right hamstring, for which he requested a change in the second half in La Plata (He was replaced by Agustín Sandez).
The issue to be defined by “Black” Ibarra is whether or not to give ownership to Villa. If the Colombian Boca plays, he will attack with three forwards, and if he starts among the substitutes, the team will wear a 4-4-2 with the ductile Cristian Medina in the midfield, in this case Juan Ramírez would leave the team.
Independiente, on the other hand, will find themselves before an uncomfortable scenario, since with a mediocre campaign with just 34 points and without having qualified for any international cup, they will take on a match in a championship final that will crown one of their two main rivals: Mouth and Racing.
The “Red Devils” will take on the last game in coach Julio Falcioni’s cycle, who will not continue at the club in 2023, with a scheme that will include five defenders, three midfielders and two forwards, plus the physical advantage that having played for the last time a week ago and Boca last Thursday.
Without Chaqueño Juan Manuel Insaurralde, Independiente will appeal to Joaquín Laso to form a line of five defenders and then there will be three midfielders among whom Iván Marcone stands out, who played in Boca until mid-2020.
