River Plateleader of the 2023 tournament of the Professional Leaguewill visit this Friday to Atletico Tucuman before traveling to Brazil to face Fluminense, for the Copa Libertadores, and then face the Superclásico once morest Boca Juniors.
The match corresponding to date 14 will be played at the Monumental José Fierro starting at 9:30 p.m., with Fernando Rapallini as referee and ESPN Premium television.
The “Millionaire”, with a different team than usual, will try to extend his positive streak in Tucumán before an important week that will involve a trip to Rio de Janeiro to face Fluminense, leader of group D of the Libertadores, and then the first Superclásico once morest Boca Juniors with Martín Demichelis as coach.
Atlético Tucumán, emboldened by the 3-1 victory once morest Racing Club in Avellaneda, will seek to lower the leader and ratify the rise following a difficult start and far from the level that led them to be the revelation team last year.
River got its sixth victory in a row following beating Independiente 2-0 at the Monumental stadium.
In the tournament that leads with 33 points and six ahead of San Lorenzo, there are already eight wins in a row with an undefeated fence and being the highest scoring team, with 24 goals.
In total, goalkeeper Franco Armani accumulates 729 minutes without conceding goals and needs another 61 to reach Amadeo Carrizo’s mark (789) from 1968.
The world champion with the Argentine national team might take possession of the two best records in history since in 2018 he reached 965 minutes and was at the top.
The advantage he took in the tournament allows Demichelis to be able to rotate the team to take care of the physicality of some players for the aforementioned important games.
However, there will be three forced variants since both Enzo Pérez and Enzo Díaz reached the fifth yellow card and the Chilean Paulo Díaz suffered a muscle strain in the left femoral biceps.
Regarding the victory once morest “Red”, the only ones who would continue from the beginning would be Armani and Leandro González Pírez.
In this sense, the coach might give full-backs Andrés Herrera and Elías Gómez minutes and midfielders Agustín Palavecino, Santiago Simón and José Paradela and in offense he would bet on the duo Miguel Borja and Salomón Rondón.
This scheme will allow the rest of Ignacio Fernández and Esequiel Barco, the first with perfect assistance in the 17 games.
With fewer minutes but a lot of continuity there are also Lucas Beltrán -who only missed once-, Rodrigo Aliendro with 15 appearances and Milton Casco with 14 games.
Atlético Tucumán is a rival that has made River difficult in recent years since there are five games without wins with four draws and one loss.
The “Millionaire” won for the last time in Tucumán in March 2019 for the 2018/19 Super League 1-0 and on his next visits he suffered a defeat (3-0 for the 2019 Super League Cup) and two 1-1 draws followed in 2020 and 2021.
Lucas Pusineri’s team celebrated their second victory in the tournament at Racing’s stadium following five draws and one loss.
It was very difficult for the “Dean” to win in this tournament since it is the second team with the most draws (7) and also lost the power it had at José Fierro with just one win in six games when in 2022 it had finished undefeated at home.
Pusineri, who never beat River as a coach or as a player, recovers midfielder Bautista Kociubinski, who left behind plantar fasciitis, but his replacement, Adrián Sánchez, scored a goal and completed a good match once morest Racing.
In addition, the left back Matías Orihuela left at halftime with a muscular problem and if he did not arrive, he would be replaced by Wilson Ibarrola.
