Super Clasico / Round 2 / The last River - Boca...until when ?


Only 10 days left for Clausura 2012, Copa Libertadores has already started, but once again Argentina's football stops tonight to see another edition of the Super Clasico between River and Boca.

The 1st leg was a solid 2-0 win for the Apertura champion, who seems to take this 2nd leg a little bit more relaxed.
Coach Julio Falcioni didn't confirm the starting lineup, but it's almost a certainty that he will mix 3 young players (left defender Sanchez Miño, midfielder Erbes and striker Araujo) with some of the usual regulars.
Once again midfielder Diego Rivero, striker Cvitanich and playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme won't be available.

For River things are a little more serious. They started last Wednesday's game with high confidence, but everything went wrong for them after Boca's first goal.
Rumors said that they would use some reserves, but coach Matias Almeyda decided to use his best team, except of course for playmaker Alejandro "Chori" Dominguez who was sent off in the previous game.

Is this going to be the last Super Clasico of 2012 ? or will River get promoted back to 1st division and they will meet again in the next semester ?

One thing is for sure: this is a game that no one wants to miss, even if it's nothing else but a friendly.

Probable Lineups:

Boca Juniors: Agustín Orión; Franco Sosa, Rolando Schiavi, Juan Insaurralde, Juan Sánchez Miño; Pablo Ledesma, Leandro Somoza or Cristian Erbes, Walter Erviti; Cristian Chavez; Sergio Araujo, Nicolás Blandi.

River Plate: Daniel Vega; Luciano Abecasis, Jonatan Maidana, Ramiro Funes Mori, Juan Manuel Díaz; Carlos Sánchez, Ezequiel Cirigliano Leonardo Ponzio, Martín Aguirre; David Trezeguet or Rogelio Funes Mori, Fernando Cavenaghi.
