Needless to say, these lifelong rivals have faced off since their very first years of existence and have built an unmatched rivalry in the country and probably in the continent. But who has the edge in the all-time series?
Well, in Argentina, the all-time record has been often divided into amateur and professional era, being the latter one who was usually taken as the valid one.

However, if we consider the amateur and professional years combined, these two played 211 matches against each other, with Boca Juniors emerging victorious in 77 affairs, while River Plate won 69 duels, and they shared the points in 65 encounters.
