Boca and River will face each other on Saturday, September 21 for the 15th date of the Professional League.
In a key match for the takeoff after the Qualifiers stoppage and what will be the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores, the Millonario will play a new edition of the Argentine Superclásico in the Bombonera on the day spring begins in the Argentina.
It is worth noting that, although it is rare that the Superclásico is played on a Saturday afternoon and not a Sunday, the fact that it is played on September 21 and not September 22 has to do with the fact that River will play on Tuesday, the 24th of this month the return of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Colo Colo.
In this way, as recovery times are not given, the AFA scheduled the classic for Saturday afternoon. Something that will surely allow Marcelo Gallardo to put a large part of the starting team on Boca's stadium looking to keep the three points.
Throughout his first cycle at the club, Marcelo Gallardo visited La Bombonera 12 times with very regular results. While he managed to win twice, his River drew seven times and barely knew defeat in three of these matches.
