The date of the classics. 14 games in three days: days and times of the most anticipated weekend in Argentine football

The Professional League Cup goes through the preview of a special moment: the promoted one “date of the classics”. In the seventh, agreed to be played between Saturday, February 24 and Monday, February 26. The confrontation that draws the most attention is the Superclásico between River and Boca, scheduled for Sunday the 25th at 5 p.m. at the Monumental stadium. How do they get to the summit meeting? River comes from drawing 1-1 against Banfield and Boca, from losing to Lanús 2-1 as a visitor. There will be a curiosity: this year, the tight calendar means that the classics are played in February, something that has not happened since this modality was implemented. Eight matches are played between historical rivals and six pairings that complete the match program, although they cannot be called classics.

The most notable matches of the day will take place on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday, meanwhile, matches will be played between rivals with little historical rivalry, with the exception of Argentinos Juniors vs. Platense. On Saturday, starting at 5 p.m., The Libertadores de América Stadium Ricardo Enrique Bochini will be the venue in charge of kicking off date 7 with the match between Independent and Racing. Immediately afterwards, from 19.30, Two games will be played simultaneously: Hurricane vs. San Lorenzo and Sarmiento de Junín vs. Central Barracks. To close the day, at 10 p.m., there will also be a classic and an interzonal duel: Belgrano vs. Workshops and Union vs. Independent Rivadavia.
