Boca lost today against Newells and the title is not decided. River needs many combinations, but they must start by winning to aspire to be champions.

Marcelo Gallardo announced that he will not continue with River and this will be the Muñeco's last home game, in what is expected to be a great farewell.

Watch out for what goalkeeper Gaspar Servio can do under the three posts, who is expected to have a lot of activity this Sunday and should come out fine to help his team try to keep a clean sheet or, at least, make it a close game.

When the pressure is on Nicolás De La Cruz usually appears as he did last Wednesday with one of the goals to beat Platense and continue in the fight to add one more title to the history.

In order to avoid any worries about relegation on the last matchday, Rosario Central has to focus on the mission of getting points, remembering that they have not won in seven matches and they have not won since September 3 when they beat Talleres by the minimum.

Although being champions does not depend on themselves, River Plate reacted at the right time and with four victories in a row, including last Wednesday's 2-1 win over Platense, they are still alive in the quest for the title, but 4 points behind leaders Boca Juniors, so they will have to wait for results to know if they can fight for something for the last matchday.

The River Plate vs Rosario Central match will be played at the Monumental Stadium, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The kick-off is scheduled at 19:30 pm ET.
