Boca have won 8 of the last 33 and since July they have not won two in a row. After the Academy, four other direct rivals and the Argentine Cup await them.
Boca plays poorly and this football crisis is so prolonged that it is difficult to establish when it started, or when was the last time it had a reliable team. The Academy also arrives in need of points, so tonight's duel at 9:30 p.m. has the flavor of a final, with everything it can represent for whoever wins or loses.
