Argentina comes to a halt this Sunday afternoon with another edition of the Superclásico. At the Monumental, River Plate hosts Boca Juniors for Matchday 15 of the 2025 Apertura. Both teams are ready and have home advantage, but when Nicolás Ramírez whistles, the only thing that matters is a win.
River is making a strong comeback. While it has never been burdened with poor results, the team was far from what was expected due to its investment and the presence of Marcelo Gallardo as its leader. Both the 3-0 win in La Plata against Gimnasia and the comeback in Ecuador in the Copa Libertadores showed signs of the old River Plate that are exciting for the most important match of the championship. El Millonario is 4th in Zone B, so it must win to secure home advantage in the playoff matches.
Fernando Gago's Boca Juniors will be playing from the southern part of the city. Xeneize has undoubtedly been the most efficient team in the regular phase of the 2025 Apertura. They lead their group and have always made sure to close out their matches at La Bombonera, but fans aren't entirely satisfied with the team. This Superclásico comes at the perfect time to take stock of where the River Plate team stands, as they easily beat their group and will need to be evaluated in a more demanding environment. The bad news is that they won't be able to count on Edinson Cavani, who is out with a muscle injury.
The Superclásico will be refereed by Nicolás Ramírez, who holds the record for the fastest yellow card in the history of the Clásico: at La Bombonera, he yellowed Federico Gattoni just eight seconds into the match. This Sunday will be tense, colorful and hopefully, good football.
