River Plate

River Plate comes to this match with a great present, as a result of the good performance it has been showing in the league. Although they drew in their most recent match against Independiente, Martín Demichelis' team has gained a lot of confidence with the passing of the matches.

However, they must be very alert because they have the same number of points as four other rivals, so any slip-up could leave them empty-handed. In the meantime, the team has been preparing for this match, a new opportunity to add a trophy to their trophy cabinet, something they have become accustomed to in recent years.
