The Copa de la Liga Argentina is looking for its two finalists, and four teams are fighting for these slots. On the one hand, Argentinos Juniors and Velez. On the other, Estudiantes de La Plata and Boca Juniors.\u00a0

Argentinos have shown an overwhelming dominance since the beginning of the campaign, so\u00a0they would have a\u00a0certain\u00a0favoritism. However, Velez has a young squad hungry for titles.\u00a0

Two of the most\u00a0remarkable teams in Argentine soccer <\/a>will also be looking for a place in the final. The Pincha won the Copa Argentina in 2022 but wants to continue expanding its trophy cabinet, and Boca\u00a0comes with air in its shirt after eliminating River Plate in the last instance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Argentinos Juniors was one of the most consistent teams in the first phase of Argentine soccer, scoring 26 points with seven wins, five draws, and two defeats.\u00a0However, in the quarterfinals, it was difficult for them to advance, as they drew 1-1 with Defensa y Justicia, so they had to resort to the penalty shootout, where they won 3-2. Something to highlight about the Bicho is its offensive power, with 26 goals in 16 games, its best scorers being Alan Lescano and Maxi Romero, both with six.\u00a0<\/strong>

Velez only scored one point less than its opponent, but its work in the semester has been much more focused on defense, as it has only allowed 14 goals in 15 games. Offensively, they do not have much to highlight, only\u00a0Braian Romero has four goals. The Liniers team has only lost once in its last 12 outings, winning three of the\u00a0previous five games.\u00a0In the quarterfinals,\u00a0they eliminated Godoy Cruz 2-1, with Romero scoring twice.\u00a0El\u00edas G\u00f3mez saw a red card and will not be available.\u00a0It is important to remember that, this semester, these clubs already played and drew 0-0 at the Jos\u00e9 Amalfitani stadium.\u00a0<\/strong>

The last time Estudiantes faced Boca Juniors in a semifinal was in 2022 for this\u00a0same\u00a0tournament. The Pincha won 3-2, with goals from Guido Carrillo, Mauro Boselli, and Jorge Figal (own goal).\u00a0In addition, this semester, they already defeated them by 1-0, thanks to Javier Correa.<\/strong>\u00a0With this favorable record, the team from La Plata wants to eliminate the Xeneize. During the group stage, they finished second in their zone, with 27 points, 19 goals scored, and only nine conceded, maintaining the defensive strength that has stood out in the Eduardo Dom\u00ednguez era.\u00a0In the quarterfinals, they defeated Barracas Central 3-0, with Carrillo (2) and Correa scoring the goals.

Boca Juniors achieved the most\u00a0relevant victory in the Diego Mart\u00ednez era, eliminating River Plate in the quarterfinals. The final score was 3-2, with a brace by Miguel Merentiel and another goal by Edinson Cavani.\u00a0The Xeneize have only lost in two of the last ten matches, so\u00a0we could say\u00a0they have found their competitive rhythm at the best possible moment.\u00a0<\/strong>Boca finished fourth in the group stage with 25 points and has in Cavani its best scorer, with six goals so far.\u00a0
