River Plate is outside of the top four in its group through four matches, going 2-2-0, with its most recent outing a 1-0 defeat to Argentinos Juniors.
Boca, meanwhile, is fourth in its group, going 2-2-0, with its most recent match a 7-1 thrashing of Velez Sarsfield.
The two clubs are the most storied and successful in Argentina's history, with River Plate's 36 domestic league championships besting Boca's 34—though Boca is the reigning champion. The two are also among the most successful in the Copa Libertadores, with Boca Juniors's six South American titles the second-most in history, while River is close behind with four. They nearly met in the 2020 Copa Libertadores final, only to both fall to Brazilian opposition in the semifinals.
The two did meet in a famous, 2018 final, whose second leg was delayed and relocated to Madrid due to fan unrest and safety concerns. River Plate won, 5-3 on aggregate, after extra time in the second leg. River also bested Boca in the 2019 semifinals, 2-1 on aggregate, before falling to Flamengo in the final.
