The 2024 Professional League Cup is more exciting than ever, since the format of the tournament indicates that only four clubs from each of the two zones went to the expected eliminatory playoffs: the other 10 teams in each group were automatically eliminated, for what all institutions were seeking to complete within positions of privilege.
What many expected but few imagined was possible is a reality: There will be Superclásico in the quarterfinals of Argentine soccer! Boca and River will eliminate each other in the first qualifying round of this tournament. We review the preview of the most anticipated duel of the quarterfinals.
The teams will meet again two months after the confrontation corresponding to the seventh day of the current League Cup, the classic date.
On February 25 they equaled 1-1 at the Monumental stadium thanks to the goals of Pablo Solari and Cristian Medina, who will not be in this match due to having been sent off against Godoy Cruz.

What is the latest news from River?
Demichelis will try to focus on the recovery against time of two key players such as Paulo Díaz and Miguel Borja. The top scorer in the League Cup along with Adrián Martínez has just missed the visit to Instituto on the last date due to a muscle overload. “We are optimistic that Miguel can be there this weekend,” Demichelis said. They will wait for it until the last minute.
What is the latest news from Boca?
Cristian Medina was sent off against Godoy Cruz and misses the Superclásico. Diego Martínez must define whether or not he changes the scheme. He will reveal it in the next few hours.
Cristian Medina is a fundamental player for Boca.
His loss, due to expulsion, to play in the Superclásico for the La Liga Cup is very sensitive.
Diego Martínez must define his replacement.
The options are:
1) Saralegui
2) Advíncula in the middle and Figal of 4.
3) Tabord.

Possible formations
River: Armani; Herrera, González Pirez, P. Díaz, E. Díaz; Fernández, Villagra, Aliendro; Echeverri; Solari or Borja, Colidio.
Mouth: Rosemary; Advíncula, Lema, Rojo, Saracchi; Pol Fernández, Saralegui, Equi Fernández, Zenón; Merentiel and Cavani.
Forecast
It will be an even match like every Superclásico. River will win just enough in a two-way clash. It will be 2 to 1.
