Coach: Marcelo Gallardo

"River is a very dynamic team, with very good feet. They try to press as soon as they lose the ball away from their goal and take advantage of Julian Alvarez's short diagonals behind the center backs, depending on where the ball is coming from. He leaves the front markers in three quarters of the field, Palavecino and Fernández appear by surprise in the area, and Barco and Quintero vary their positions."

"We have a very good squad and several players who can fulfill other roles. Since Cristian Tarragona arrived he has been growing more and more, he can carry the team, but they are different positions."

"We have more or less what everyone sees, River has a way of playing that will not change regardless of who plays, they cut permanently when they do not press."

"The fact that the derby is played next week doesn't change anything. We always have to win, derbies are beautiful, but we have to aim to win every game".

"I have a lot of number 10's. Hook? I don't know what it means. The creative one, the one who connects lines, the one who is a thinker, the one who has good positioning. We have several of those. The player today has to do a little bit of everything."

"We haven't found that complete match that gives us the freedom to find ourselves completely; we are not confused with a good moment, with the victories. We are in search of the complete match that will give us the click."

In professionalism...

Referring only to the times that these teams have faced each other in the professionalism, we count 159 matches, where the millonario has won 85 times, while the wolf has won 33 times, for a total of 41 draws.

Gimnasia has started the tournament in an irregular way with only one victory in five rounds. It will be important for the wolf to win this match, not only because of the rival, but also because it would put them in the fight for the first places, so it will be a game where motivation must be at its best.

River comes to this match with the momentum of the victory achieved in the previous matchday against San Lorenzo and also with the task of winning to remain as one of the leaders of group A. Marcelo Gallardo's team is starting to take shape, but the players are aware that they can still give a better level, so it will be a great opportunity to prove it.
