The last date of the season Professional Soccer League It will be far from being decorative. Not only will the title be defined, with Vélez, Talleres and Huracán as contenders, but the owners of the places to compete in the cups in 2025 will also be resolved. Libertadores y South American.
First we have to talk about the Libertadores, that tournament that seems to be the exclusive property of Brazilians since 2019 and that distributes both prestige and money. They already have their place secured Students of La Plata for having won the Professional League Cup y Racing after his conquest of the South American Cup. And they also did it for the Annual Table Velez (73), Córdoba Workshops (72) y River (70).
The quota reserved for the champion of the Professional League (will not come out of Velez, Workshops y Hurricanewho should beat this Monday Platense to stay alive) and the one destined for the champion of the Argentine Cup (again Velez y Central Cordobawho play this Wednesday in Santa Fe).
This uncertainty, with various combinations, opens a tempting scenario for Boca (66)which for now the only thing guaranteed is its place in the South American Cupalthough he maintains the expectation of reaching the playoffs from Phase 2. That will occur as long as Hurricane y Central Cordoba Do not keep the places reserved for the champions. In fact, his change of status could occur on Monday night if the Globe does not win in Parque Patricios.
For the South American CupHowever, there are seven candidates for six places. behind Bocawho can make the jump according to the combinations that occur when entering the older sister, appear Godoy Cruz (61, already classified), Hurricane (59, with one game less and with a double chance), Independent (59 and one game less), Union (59) y Lanus (58).
He Globo plays his future with three points tonight, at 9:30 p.m., against Platense in the Duco. and the Rojoat the same time, will seek to stamp your passport before Atlético Tucumán at the Libertadores de América in Avellaneda.
Defense and Justice (57) is one of the two teams today outside the classification zone that maintains a chance to play the South American Cup. The good thing for the Falcon is that it does not depend on third parties: if it beats Union In Florencio Varela on the last date he will get into trouble. The other is Platensewho must beat Huracán and then Gimnasia to dream of going for drinks.
