Boca Juniors vs River Plate: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Boca Juniors have made their way into this stage of the Argentine Cup by defeating fourth-tier side Claypole in a hard-fought 2-1 win and destroying 3-0 second-tier team Defensores de Belgrano. However, their latest form has been quite poor, as they carry a seven-game winless streak.

River Plate, meanwhile, punched their ticket to the last-16 of the Copa Argentina by beating Atletico Tucuman 2-1. Previously, they put four past third-tier team Defensores de Pronunciamiento. The Millonario arrive at this clash in much better form than their rivals, but this will be the biggest challenge for them since the resumption of club competition.

This will be the first time they meet in this tournament, but these two archrivals have obviously a huge history of facing each other in other competitions. Boca Juniors have the edge in the all-time series with 74 wins, while River Plate have 65, and they drew on 63 occasions. In domestic cups, however, the Millonario have the advantage with three wins to Boca's two victories.
