Team News

Estudiantes
River Plate
  • Gaston Fernandez is in line to return from injury and could partner Mariano Pavone in attack in place of Juan Apaolaza.
  • Fernando Zuqui scored in the win over Banfield last week and continues on the right of midfield.
  • Mariano Andujar was in splendid form and starts in goal as part of an unchanged defensive unit.
  • Cristian Ferreira's sensational goal handed River Plate victory over Aldosivi and it will again be a reserve side that goes up against Estudiantes.
  • Luciano Lollo brings some experience to central defence but with Lucas Martinez Quarta suspended might be partnered by Kevin Sibille.
  • Julian Alvarez may start in attack with Rodrigo Mora.

Prediction

  • Regardless of form Banfield is never an easy place to go so Estudiantes' victory last week was an impressive one. Given it was also the first back-to-back wins of the campaign it will hopefully lift El Pincha out of their recent slump and see the club move back up the table.
  • It took an unbelievable goal to pick up three points against Aldosivi from what was an otherwise poor performance from River Plate. That is to be expected when the entire starting XI is rested and they will be again on Saturday ahead of the Copa Libertadores final against Boca.
  • Much depends on River Plate's team selection as anything resembling a first XI should beat Estudiantes while the kids that played against Aldosivi last week may struggle.
