The 2021 Copa Argentina is reaching its crucial stages as the first ticket to the grand final will be at stake when Boca Juniors take on Argentinos Juniors today at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza in a thrilling semifinal matchup. The winner of the tournament will get a spot in next year's Copa Libertadores. Here, you will find everything there is to know about this exciting game, such as the match preview, information, storylines, head-to-head, predictions, odds, and how to watch the game in the US.
El Xeneize arrive at this clash with high expectations as it could be the only trophy they can challenge for in the remainder of the year. Lifelong rivals River Plate are comfortably atop the Argentine League standings, so the domestic cup could be the only way for Boca to win silverware this term.
But El Bicho will try to upset the local giants and make their way to the tournament final. This match will also be emotional for the soccer community as it will take place just a few days after Diego Maradona's first birthday without him. Diego emerged from Argentinos' academy and then shone for Boca, so both have a deep bond with the Argentine legend.
