Boca Juniors and Gimnasia La Plata are set to face off in the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina on October 23, 2024, at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa in Rosario. This highly anticipated match is crucial for both teams as they vie for a spot in the semifinals of the tournament.

The match, scheduled to start at 8:10 PM ET, will be broadcast by TyC Sports. Boca Juniors, under the management of Fernando Gago, are looking to recover from a recent poor performance and secure their place in the next round. However, the team has been embroiled in internal issues, with player Cristian Medina requesting that Gago not be present at the game, adding an extra layer of tension to the encounter.

The potential lineups for both teams have been speculated, with Boca Juniors possibly fielding players like Sergio Romero, Luis Advíncula, and Edinson Cavani, while Gimnasia could start with Marcos Ledesma, Juan Pintado, and Matías Abaldo.

This match also holds significance as the winner will face Vélez Sarsfield, who are currently leading the Liga Profesional and have already secured their place in the semifinals of the Copa Argentina.
