Argentinos Juniors and Boca Juniors get their 2025 Argentine Primera Division Clausura campaign underway when they lock horns at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday. Miguel Angel Russo’s side will look to get the season off on the front foot, having recently suffered a group-stage exit from the FIFA Club World Cup.
Argentinos Juniors suffered a quarter-final exit from the Primera Division Apertura playoff as they suffered a penalty-shootout defeat against San Lorenzo following a 1-1 stalemate in normal time on May 19.
Nicolas Diez’s men edged a standout regular-season campaign, where they picked up 33 points from 15 games to finish top of the table, edging out runners-up Boca Juniors on goal difference.
Argentinos Juniors were last in action on May 28, when they picked up a comfortable 3-0 victory over 10-man Excursionistas in the round of 32 of the Copa Argentina.

On the other hand, Boca Juniors were knocked out of the FIFA Club World Cup in the group stages after picking up two points from three games in Group C to finish third in the table.
Russo’s men played out stalemates against Portuguese powerhouse Benfica and New Zealand outfit Auckland City, with a 2-1 defeat against Bayern Munich sandwiched between the two draws.
Like Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors reached the quarter-finals of the Apertura playoffs last season before falling to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of River Plate.
