The most important game of all arrives in the Argentine league. The Superclassic, of course. Boca and River, face to face in a framework of a parity that had not been drawn in their confrontations for a long time. It will be this Sunday, in that special place that is the Bombonera, starting at 10 p.m. Spanish time. There will begin to end all the mysteries that both coaches have been raising these days. It is a mega soccer proposal that can mark some and others for the remainder of the championship, and also the rest of the teams that dream of the title.
Hugo Ibarra launches in the antechamber: “I have not resolved the team. Marcos Rojo is better. We will try it. Later we will see if we defend with a line of five or not, although everyone knows that we have been doing it with four defenders”.

Marcelo Gallardo does not walk around and admits: “I do not want to give details to the rival. I don’t like to show all the cards.” Of course, just in case, the Doll clarifies: “We do not pass false information to talk about something that is not.”
Boca regrets the casualties for a long time due to injuries to Sebastián Villa and Exequiel Zeballos, fast and unbalanced wingers. But enjoy the brilliant appearance of another youth, Luca Langoni, author of three goals in the last two games. Ibarra’s doubts with Rojo go through a muscular discomfort. It is estimated that the former Manchester United will start.
River recovers Franco Armani, who comes out of a tear, and keeps Pablo Solari in doubt, also with a muscular problem. The 21-year-old Pibe, who just arrived and stands out with speed and goals, was injured in the last game against Barracas Central and arrives with just enough. Gallardo decided to summon him, but it represents a great unknown.

The Argentine giants park on this date 18 with 29 points, to four of the leaders who played before. Boca depends more on their individualities and thus hides casualties and internal problems. River cannot with its irregularities and fails to take off after the sale of Julián Álvarez to Manchester City.
The balance that is breathed was not perceived in other previous superclassics. Both accumulate seven games without losing, with five wins and two draws. The difference is that the xeneizes won in their last three presentations and the millionaires in their last two. All too even in that sense.
