All right you football loving maniacs, I thought I would give you little history lesson today. As we all know, Boca will be facing River next Thursday at La Bombonera and will conclude the 81 minutes of the match that are left to be played after the game was suspended due to deplorable weather conditions last Sunday.



So, who holds the upper hand in this traditional rivalry? Who owns who? Boca fans and the River faithful can argue emphatically all day about who is the better side, but the numbers don't lie when it comes to results on the pitch. It's not as lopsided as one might think (at least in league encounters), but here at Simply Futbol we want to make sure that we inform everyone with the most precise details....
