Both the local and the visit occupy places of access to the maximum continental tournament, but they need to continue adding to not give their pursuers an advantage in the 2021 annual table that grants international passports.
Vélez is in second place in that general classification with 59 units -one less than River- and Boca (52) ascended last date to the third step by goal difference, favored by the defeat of Talleres de Córdoba against the “Millionaire” .
With distant chances of fighting the LPF title by the 9 points that separate it from its historical rival, the “Xeneize” concentrates on a more earthly objective such as the move to the Libertadores, which if not achieved this way it will have to seek with the coronation in the Argentine Cup.
The commitment in Liniers will be a tough test for Boca since Vélez accumulates an undefeated of eleven dates (7 wins and 5 draws) that began after accounting for equalities and losses in equal parts in the first six games.
Vélez, meanwhile, will seek revenge for what happened in the last match at Amalfitani, on March 7, when Boca conceded the biggest win in history: 7-1 with goals from Edwin Cardona, Sebastián Villa (2) , Gonzalo Maroni (2), Carlos Tevez and Jorman Campuzano.
The historical dominance of Boca over Velez is notorious and shows a difference of 40 games in records per AFA league. Out of 169 matches he won 84, drew 41 and lost 44.
