Boca and Libertadores: what results are needed to qualify?

The defeat suffered in Colombia with a goal at the end of the game did not limit Boca’s chances of reaching the last 16 of the Libertadores. In theory, he just put it off.

Boca lead the pack with Deportivo Pereira, both with seven players, followed by Colo-Colo with five and Monagas de Venezuela with two. What does Xeneize need to seal its move to the next stage of the continental competition?

Boca have the next two Copa Libertadores games at home, first against Colo-Colo and then against Monagas, their weakest group rivals.

If they beat the Chileans at home, Almirón’s side will secure the table regardless of the outcome of Pereira’s visit to Monagas. Beyond the importance of being first in the group.

With a draw against Colo-Colo, it will be enough for Boca to beat the Venezuelans in the last round or they could also draw and wait for the result of Cacique who receives Pereira: the Chileans have three goals less than the Xeneizes on goal difference.

Now, if Colo-Colo surprises and beats Boca alla Bombonera, the picture becomes more complicated even if the chances remain alive.

In that case, if Pereira beats him or draws with Monagas, Xeneize would receive the Venezuelans in the last round as third in the group but knowing that the leader and the escort will face each other in Santiago and take points. Therefore, a Bombonera victory against Monagas with a good number of goals could mean their ticket to the last 16 of the Libertadores.
