📰 Team News: River Plate

The River Plate manager will be grateful not to have any fitness worries to speak of before this match with a completely injury-free squad to pick from.

We think that Los Millonarios look set to use the 4-2-3-1 formation for the game featuring Santiago Beltran, Fabricio Bustos, L. Martínez Quarta, Lautaro Rivero, Matías Viña, Anibal Moreno, Fausto Vera, Joaquin Freitas, Tomás Galván, Ian Subiabre and Sebastián Driussi.

🗞️ Team News: Belgrano

With a completely healthy group to pick from, the Belgrano boss has zero fitness worries to report before this game.

We’re of the thinking that Pirata appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Thiago Cardozo, Alcides Benítez, Leonardo Morales, Álvaro Ocampo, Federico Ricca, Adrian Sanchez, Franco Vazquez, Julián Mavilla, Lucas Zelarayán, Emiliano Rigoni and Nicolas Fernandez.

🔮 Prediction

It looks to us that River Plate should really get the win and a possible clean sheet against Belgrano, who might well find it difficult scoring a goal of their own.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 2-0 win for River Plate come full-time.
