It is time for fans around the world to watch one more chapter of the heated rivalry between Boca Juniors and River Plate. The two Argentine titans return to action in the Primera División with a clash that could have serious consequences in how they rank when the season comes to an end.

On the other hand, River Plate rank sixth in the competition with a record that includes eight wins, five draws, and four losses. It has been a harsh season for Marcelo Gallardo's men, as they have been forced to sort out their games with several players coming down with injuries.
