Boca already has its rival almost confirmed for the playoffs and Rosario Central has changed its outlook

The elimination of the asterisks from the Copa Sudamericana that generated the tragic floods in the South of Brazil almost ensured Boca’s prospects for the playoffs. The thing is that after an irregular group stagewhere he missed several points, Boca came second and is already thinking about the Copa Sudamericana playoff, where he waits for one of the third places in the Copa Libertadores. The triumph of Internacional from Brazil as a visitor to Real Tomayapo from Bolivia clarified the panorama of group C and left the rival for the playoffs almost confirmed: Independiente del Valle, in Quito.

How can it change? If next Saturday, in the last pending match, the team led by Argentine Eduardo ‘Chacho’ Coudet wins by three goals or Delfín of Ecuador wins by two goals. In that case, Xeneize would have as a rival another Ecuadorian such as Liga de Quito. One way or another, I would live up to it..

This is a very careful rival for Diego Martínez’s team, who will not have several important players who will be part of the list of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The coach of the Ribera team must think clearly about how to rearrange the midfield, taking into account that Javier Mascherano I call Kevin Zenon, Christian Medina y Ezequiel Fernandez for the Argentina Sub 23 Teamin addition to the substitute goalkeeper Leandro Brey.

What did happen is that the panorama for Rosario Central changed. Canalla was the best third in the Copa Libertadores, until Gremio beat Huachipato this Tuesday so that the Chileans surpassed it.

Thus, those led by Miguel Ángel Russo went to the G playoffs in which they would face Racing de Montevideo. But if they pass the results mentioned above, they will have to clash with Always Ready from Bolivia. If they advance to the round of 16, their match would be with Fortaleza of Brazil.

The first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana will be played in the week of July 14 and the second leg will be defined in the week of the 21st of the same month.

Xeneize is on the right side of the Copa Sudamericana table and depending on its position as second, it can face in the round of 16 cruise from Brazil or Lanus. If the aforementioned results do not occur and they advance in their playoffs, they will clash with the Belo Horizonte team.
