Racing Club are unbeaten in eight matches and come into a big occasion like this at the perfect time. Six goals in the two games prior to the Barracas Central goalless draw, shows Racing don't always have to win by the odd goal in a tight game. Boca Juniors have had no consistency for a long time, but a narrow victory against 10-man Platense last time out is the first step on the journey. Just three wins in the last 10 matches simply isn't the sort of form a side of Boca's stature should be seeing. 3:2
Jonathan Galvan has asserted himself at centre-back following his arrival from Huracan. Enzo Copetti looks set to stay at the club, which will be a welcome benefit to Fernando Gago. Agustin Rossi will maintain his place despite public battles with Boca over his contract. Sergio Romero's arrival could change that soon. Hugo Ibarra may be forced to make some bold selection choices to find a winning solution.
