In the 24th match, Boca Juniors will face Arsenal de Sarandí as visitors. In theory, the six-time champions of the Libertadores should have an easy time against their opponent, who is currently last in the league table; however, the history of the current tournament shows that the 'Azul y Oro' have struggled to achieve a victory against the last-placed teams in the league.

If Boca obtains the three points against Arsenal, in the last match they will face Central Córdoba. Their possible qualification for the international tournament will be defined in front of their fans at the Estadio La Bombonera, but if they fail to reach the goal, their destiny will be the Copa Sudamericana. The last time they won that event was in 2005.
