In the context of the Copa Libertadores 2025, Boca Juniors began their participation in the away series with a 1-0 loss against Alianza Lima. The Argentine team was in Phase 2 of the playoff in which they had a poor start.
Boca's schedule for the playoff of the Copa Libertadores 2025 is as follows: the return match against Alianza Lima will take place on Tuesday, February 25, at home. In addition, the dates for Phase 3 are yet to be defined, with options for the first and return legs on March 4, 5, or 6, and March 11, 12, or 13, respectively.
To advance to Phase 3 of the playoff of the Copa Libertadores, Boca needs to win by at least a one-goal difference in the return match against Alianza Lima to force penalties or achieve a victory by two goals to win the series directly.
In this challenge of the Copa Libertadores 2025, Boca Juniors faces the particularity of starting its journey from the second stage of the preliminary round, needing to overcome two two-leg elimination rounds to advance to the group stage. Unlike previous editions, the number of away goals is no longer considered; the only relevant factor is the overall result of the eliminations. On their part, Boca benefits from defining both ties at home due to their position in the Conmebol ranking.
