📰 Team News: Unión de Santa Fe

The Unión de Santa Fe manager Gustavo Munúa will be happy not to have any fitness worries at all coming into this game owing to a fully healthy squad to pick from.

We are thinking that El Tatengue will possibly kick off with a 4-4-2 system featuring Santiago Mele, Federico Vera, Franco Calderón, Emanuel Brítez, Claudio Corvalan, M. Peralta Bauer, Enzo Roldan, Leonel Bucca, Kevin Zenon, Mauro Luna Diale and Jonatan Álvez.

🗞️ Team News: River Plate

River Plate manager Marcelo Gallardo has some current player fitness concerns. Matías Suárez (Thigh Muscle Strain), Juan Fernando Quintero (Torn muscle bundle), Milton Casco (Calf Problems), Felipe Peña Biafore (Fitness) and Robert Rojas (Tibia and Fibula Fracture) are those who can’t be considered.

We believe Los Millonarios seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Franco Armani, Emanuel Mammana, L. Gonzalez Pirez, H. David Martinez, Elias Gomez, Bruno Zuculini, Enzo Fernández, Santiago Simón, Nicolás De La Cruz, Esequiel Barco and Julián Álvarez.
