Canberra Olimpic U23 vs O'Connor Knights U23 on 13 May
The 2023/24 Primera División season concluded with River Plate securing the Apertura title in dramatic fashion. The Buenos Aires giants finished on 48 points, edging out Talleres by a single point after a final-day victory. The Clausura tournament is still ongoing, with the playoffs scheduled to begin next month. Boca Juniors, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency and currently sit fifth in the aggregate table, 12 points behind the leaders. Defending champions Racing Club have failed to replicate last season’s form and are in danger of missing the total playoffs entirely.
Key battles and relegation race
At the other end of the standings, the fight to avoid the drop remains intense. Under the league’s average-points system, Huracán and Colón are both hovering just above the relegation zone. A poor run of results in the Clausura could see either side slip into the bottom three. Meanwhile, Independiente have shown signs of recovery under new management, winning three of their last five matches. With several rounds still to play, the picture remains far from settled.
