The River Plate vs Boca Juniors Copa Libertadores final will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Millonarios host Los Xeneizes at the Estadio Monumental for the second-leg this Sunday, November 25 at 12:00 PM Pacific.
Despite the 2-2 draw in the first-leg, River Plate were the big winners from that clash as La Banda can now secure the Copa Libertadores trophy at home. The home fans have already sparked controversy as the final was scheduled for Saturday, but could not be played because River Plate supported attacked Boca’s team bus on its way to the Monumental. The attack did have severe consequences as Boca Juniors’ midfielder Pablo Perez along with Gonzalo Lamardo were both sent to the hospital.
River Plate has everything in its favor to take the trophy, but in these types of games, it is almost impossible to make accurate predictions. Manager Marcelo Gallardo will not be on the sidelines for this match due to a suspension and Colombian forward Rafael Santos Borre will also serve a suspension after picking up a yellow card in the first-leg. These absences could impact the match, although River Plate has more than enough talent in its offense with players like Lucas Pratto and Ignacio Scocco.
Boca Juniors could also be missing some key players in this match like Pablo Perez, Leonardo Jara and Cristian Pavon due to injury. Pavon is set to return, although everything seems to be up in the air at this point for Los Xeneizes especially with the incident with the team bus.
Boca Juniors arguably has a better roster than River Plate with players like Pavon, Ramon Abila, Wilmar Barrios and Nahitan Nandez, but individual talent is not always the deciding factor.
