League leaders Boca Juniors could wrap up the tite in this round, although they won’t be able to do so in their own match away to Godoy Cruz. If other results go their way, they win that match, and then Unión fail to beat Independiente on Monday, Boca will be champions. Elsewhere Newell’s Old Boys v San Lorenzo is a massive clash for the relegation standings, and Lanús could assure their Copa Libertadores participation next year against All Boys on Saturday. All the kick off times and referees are right here.
All kick off times are local. Add three hours for Greenwich Mean Time.
