Team News

River Plate
Huracan
  • German Pezzella and Fabricio Bustos will want to play as soon as possible with both eligible for continental action soon after.
  • Miguel Borja is an injury absentee after suffering a small hamstring tear which will also keep him out of the Libertadores tie with Talleres.
  • An unchanged lineup will be no surprise after Huracan took on yet another title contender and proved their worth last time out.

Prediction

  • Marcelo Gallardo has returned much sooner than anticipated for River Plate after his unsuccessful Saudi Arabian stint. His return to the dugout has completely transformed the mood for River Plate.
  • German Pezzella and Fabricio Bustos are two major defensive reinforcements for River and they will want to bed them in before the return to continental action.
  • Losing Ignacio Pussetto's surprise departure could have diminished Huracan's title credentials but recent results show they are up for the fight.
  • Huracan remain unbeaten in the league but this is arguably their biggest challenge as they hope to spoil Gallardo's return party.
