📋 Team News: River Plate

David Martínez (Patella problems) and Bruno Zuculini (Partial damage to the cruciate ligament) won’t be able to feature for River Plate boss Martín Demichelis.

It’s our opinion that Los Millonarios look set to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, handing starts to Franco Armani, Milton Casco, Robert Rojas, Paulo Diaz, Enzo Hernan Diaz, Rodrigo Aliendro, Enzo Perez, Ignacio Fernandez, Agustin Palavecino, Pablo Solari and Miguel Borja.

ℹ️ Team News: Platense

Due to a fully injury-free squad to choose from, the Platense boss Martín Palermo has no fitness worries to speak of coming into this clash.

We believe Platense appear most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 system using Ramiro Macagno, Nicolas Morgantini, Miguel Jacquet, Marco Pellegrino, Sasha Marcich, Ronaldo Martinez, Franco Baldassarra, Ivan Rossi, Gonzalo Valdivia, Nicolas Castro and Mauro Quiroga.
