Boca Juniors vs Gimnasia LP: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Boca Juniors were beaten 2-0 by Velez Sarsfield on Matchday 18, which put their title aspirations at risk as lifelong rivals River keep on recording victories. Sebastian Battaglia's side sits 6th in the standings with 30 points, 12 shy of Marcelo Gallardo's men.

Gimnasia, on the other hand, have avoided defeat in their last four games (DWWD). El Lobo come from a 2-2 draw with Central Cordoba, a result that left them 13th in the table with 25 points.
