This Sunday, September 29, the Monumental stadium will be the scene of an exciting meeting between River and Talleres de Córdoba, corresponding to date 16 of the Professional League tournament. This match promises to be one of the most outstanding of the day, not only because of the quality of both teams, but also because of what is at stake in the standings.
River He comes to this meeting in a moment of great form. The team led by Marcelo Gallardo is coming off a perfect week, having defeated its eternal rival, Boca Juniors, in the Superclásico and ensuring its qualification for the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores, where it will face Atlético Mineiro.
This victory has raised the morale of the team and its fans, who hope to continue on the victorious path so as not to lose track of the tournament leader, Vélez Sarsfield. For its part, Talleres is also going through a good moment.
The Córdoba team, led by Alexander Medina, is coming off an important 2-0 victory against Racing Club. However, not everything is rosy for the “T”, since their coach has had to deal with the injury of Matías Catalán, who suffered a torn ligament and will be out of the field for several months.
Despite this loss, Talleres has proven to be a solid and competitive team, capable of complicating any rival. For this meeting, River Plate could line up with Franco Armani in goal; a defense composed of Fabricio Bustos, Germán Pezzella, Paulo Díaz and Marcos Acuña.
In midfield, Matías Kranevitter, Maximiliano Meza, Santiago Simón and Facundo Colidio; and up front, Miguel Borja. This formation reflects Gallardo’s intention to maintain a balanced team, with a solid defense and a dynamic attack.
Alignment
Talleres, for its part, could present an alignment with Herrera in goal; Benavidez, Rodríguez, Portillo and Navarro in defense; Portilla, Ortegoza, Botta, Galarza and Depietri in midfield; and Tarragona as the only forward. This formation seeks to take advantage of the speed and good footing of its midfielders to generate danger in the rival area.
One of the most interesting aspects of this match will be the tactical duel between Gallardo and Medina. Both coaches are known for their ability to read games and make adjustments on the fly. El Muñeco, with his experience and success in international competitions, will seek to impose his style of play based on possession and high pressure. Medina, for his part, will try to take advantage of quick transitions and counterattacks to surprise the defense of River.
