The presence of Yago Pikachu stands out in Fortaleza. The 29-year-old Brazilian player is the team's top scorer so far this season with five goals.

This will be the second time these two teams meet. The first time was last March 16, when they won 2-0.

River has played against Brazilian teams 79 times, winning 23 times, drawing 20 and losing 36. 

Fortaleza has only played against Argentinean teams three times... There they had one win and two losses.

River arrives with high morale, after obtaining a big win over Sarmiento in the Argentine league. As for the Libertadores, it is clear that with a win they will secure their place in the round of 16 and that will be the motivation for Marcelo Gallardo's team.

Fortaleza is coming off its first win in the Copa Libertadores against Alianza lima. However, their start in the Brasileirao has not been as expected and they are in last place, so they will have to play with a cool head so that this does not influence how they intend to hurt their rival.

The Fortaleza vs River Plate match will be played at the Castelão Stadium, located in the city of Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará, Brazil. This stadium, inaugurated in 20, has a capacity for 65,000 spectators.
