The biggest game in the Argentine top flight takes place this Sunday. Keep tabs on this game with our detailed guide.

One of the most intense rivalries in the world will add another chapter to its record books when Boca Juniors and River Plate lock horns on Sunday.

Boca Juniors has shown good form in their recent games, winning two out of the last three. Their loss against Estudiantes saw them drop down the standings, but a good result in front of their supporters could see them take the top spot, currently owned by Racing.

On the other side of the pitch, River Plate's unbeaten form makes fans believe they can walk out of the Bombonera with a win, but having drawn five games out of their last six competitive clashes doesn't give them that much hope against their bitter rivals.

Boca Juniors will have to make do without Esteban Andrada who picked up a fractured jaw during the Copa Libertadores game. Added to that, Edwin Cardona may miss out on this game due to an ankle sprain.

Regarding River Plate, Nacho Fernández is still unavailable due to physical problems. Enzo Pérez and Juan Fernando Quintero are battling to earn a spot in the team's lineup, and coach Marcelo Gallardo will determine that spot hours before the game.
