Managed by "Vasco" Arruabarrena, Boca arrives buoyed by their run to the South American Cup final. They aim to keep competing on all fronts, remaining the only Argentine team still alive in every competition they are participating in (the South American Cup, the Argentine Cup, already qualified for the top eight in their group, and with a chance to win the annual table). As a result, the club from the Ribera has had a positive half-season and wants to secure this classic to gain the momentum needed to fight in the final stretch and end the year on top.
Meanwhile, River, coming off a half-season to forget on the pitch, sees the classic as a chance to turn things around and secure a spot in the 2027 Copa Libertadores. Ponzio's team was eliminated early from the South American Cup by Independiente Santa Fe at the Monumental, and in the local tournament, they have yet to convince regarding the performance expected after the Millonario's transfer market moves.
