Eleven of the twelve Argentine clubs in the race reach this last date classified, or with specific chances of qualifying.
Patronato de Paraná is the only club in the country already eliminated from its competition, although it maintains an opportunity to be third in the Libertadores to transfer to the South American.
In the Libertadores, both Boca and Racing and Argentinos Juniors have their place guaranteed in the Round of 16. The three leaders arrive from their group at this last date, and it is up to themselves to hold that place.
River is not classified but it depends only on itself to do it, it will win, it will advance in the round and even another result could also classify it (or complicate it), that’s why it will have an ear on Rio de Janeiro.
In South America, Newell’s is the only club in the country that has already secured first place, so it will qualify for the Round of 16 directly. Defense arrives classified and leader, but needs at least a tie to confirm that privileged place. Estudiantes and Tigre are also classified, although both need to score goals on the last date to avoid being second and play an extra round.
Huracán depends only on himself, he will only qualify if he wins his match, while both San Lorenzo and Gimnasia must win and wait for a favorable result to continue in the competition.
