River Plate vs. Racing: match preview
The 'Academia' has a chance to win in the final match of the competition. However, Fernando Gago's team depends on another result. At the end of the campaign, the Avellaneda team is in second place with 50 points, one less than the 51 of Boca Juniors, who play at home against Independiente.
Racing has the obligation to win and hope that their archrival, 'El Rojo,' takes points away from Boca. There is another scenario: if the 'azul y oro' loses at La Bombonera and Gago's team draws, the champion of the Professional League will be determined through a tiebreaker that will be played on a neutral field.
On the other hand, River Plate faces the contest with a guaranteed spot in the Copa Libertadores 2023. With nothing else to fight for, it will be a special game because it will be the last official match under the tutelage of Marcelo Gallardo. Likewise, there is intrigue because the 'Millonarios,' if they win and Boca loses, can give a helping hand to their eternal rival with the title.
