Gonzalo Bergessio is the veteran and quality contribution that Platense's attack brings to his club. The 37-year-old already knows what it's like to score in the current edition of the Argentine League Cup, with a total of two goals and one assist in the domestic competition.

The presence of Enzo Fernández stands out in River Plate. The 21-year-old Argentine player is one of the team's top scorers in the current edition of the Professional League Cup with six goals. In addition, he has participated with five assists.

In total, the two clubs have met 31 times, leaving the Millonario team as the top winner of this duel with 16 wins, while Platense has managed to win seven matches and they have drawn in eight other duels.

Platense is only playing this match for honor. The recently promoted team to the first division of Argentine soccer wants to close its participation in the Copa de la Liga with a victory against Gallardo's solid team. Platense is currently in twelfth place with a total of twelve points.

River Plate comes into this match with the possibility of maintaining second place in its group, if it manages to beat Platense at home. With a total of 26 points, Gallardo's team cannot afford to drop points, as its closest rival has three points less and could lose second place.
