With both sides facing a deficit from the top of the Clausura table, arch-rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate meet in the Superclasico on Sunday at La Bombonera.
Split into different groups, Boca Juniors sit third in their table while River Plate reside fourth in theirs. Boca have not lost since the opening round of the Clausura, but have been playing catchup after a run of draws earlier in the current fixture list. River, meanwhile, are currently on a good run of form, having won three straight, but are also in catchup mode after being blighted by three straight defeats to begin the schedule.
Both teams have also been dumped from their initial continental competition, although Boca have reached the Copa Sudamericana final on November 11 after dropping down from Copa Libertadores in the group stage.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
