The match generated enormous expectations and a full stadium is expected in “La Docta”, with a lot of atmosphere in the stands, given that the Argentine Cup is played with the fans of both teams in the stands.
The “Xeneize” team was crowned champion of the most federal tournament in the country in the 1969, 2012, 2015 and 2020 editions, while its rival, “Pincha” from La Plata, never won the competition nor played in a final.

Boca, in a season in which it was never the protagonist of the local tournaments (Professional League and League Cup), and in which it lost the final of the Copa Libertadores once morest Fluminense, from Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro, will assume the “ semi” of the Argentine Cup with an interim coach like Mariano Herrón, who replaced the resigning Jorge Almirón.
Boca and Estudiantes, at the Kempes
The Argentine Cup has a unique importance for the “Xeneizes” since in addition to the title it will offer the champion as an extra reward a pass to next year’s Libertadores, and Boca is betting on achieving it since it is not doing so in the accumulated annual table of the two local tournaments, although for the moment it is entering next year’s Sudamericana.
A scenario without Libertadores in 2024 may influence the elections that the club will hold on December 2 to renew its authorities, in which the ruling party will compete with Juan Román Riquelme as president and Jorge Amor Ameal as vice, once morest the opposition represented by Andrés Ibarra and Mauricio Macri, former owner of the club for 12 years, between 1995 and 2007.
In that context, coach Mariano Herrón will put the best available, with the return to the defense of captain Marcos Rojo following more than a month, when Boca beat Unión de Santa Fe 2 to 1 in La Bombonera, in that match He tore and in any case he would not have been able to play in the final in Rio on November 4 because he was suspended.
Rojo will come in for Nicolás Valentini, while the other changes will be Ezequiel Bullaude for Cristian Medina, who has had poor performance in recent games, and Lucas Janson for the injured Uruguayan Edinson Cavani to accompany Boca’s best forward on the offensive during the year. : Miguel Merentiel.
Another Uruguayan, Marcelo Saracchi, will continue as a starter at left back since Colombian Frank Fabra remains injured and his future at the club is uncertain following his unusual expulsion once morest Fluminense.
Their rival, Estudiantes de La Plata, recovered one of their figures, José Sosa, who will provide the share of experience and hierarchy in the generation of the game together with Benjamín Rollheiser.
“Pincha” will not have Luciano Lollo or Santiago Ascacibar, who have been out due to injuries for a few weeks.
Guido Carrillo will continue on the offensive, since coach Eduardo Domínguez is satisfied with his latest performances and the experienced scorer Mauro Boselli will be a substitute, who announced that he will put an end to his career at the age of 38, when the season concludes next month .
