This Sunday, August 31, from 7:15 p.m., the most monumental stadium will be the scene of a new challenge for River Plate, which will face San Martín de San Juan for the seventh date of the Clausura 2025 tournament.
River He comes from playing an intense crossroads for Copa Argentina against Unión de Santa Fe, where he managed to advance on penalties after drawing without goals in the 90 minutes. To this is added the 1-1 draw against Lanús on the previous date of the Clausura, which left the team with the need to recover ground and return to the triumph to stay at the top of the table.
With just two days of recovery, Gallardo is forced to make modifications in the starting eleven, not only for physical wear, but also for the proximity of other important commitments, such as the duel against Estudiantes de la Plata on September 13 and the crossroads for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores against Palmeiras on September 17.
As it transpired, the “doll” evaluates several changes in all lines. In defense, Lautaro Rivero could enter instead of Paulo Díaz, who has had a good performance but could be preserved for the next matches. Rivero, a young promise of the club, is going through a great moment and could add minutes from the start.
In the midfield, the doubt is between Kevin Castaño and Juanfer Quintero. While Castaño brings balance and recovery, Quintero offers creativity and vision of the game. Gallardo could opt for one or the other depending on the tactical scheme that decides to implement.
In attack of RiverFacundo Colidio could replace Ignacio “Nacho” Fernández, which would modify the system to a more offensive 4-3-3. The presence of Sebastián Driussi and Maximiliano Salas is also expected, while Franco Armani will continue to be the owner of the arch, after his outstanding performance in the Argentine Cup.
Training
The possible training would be: Franco Armani; Gonzalo Montiel, Lucas Martínez Quarta, Lautaro Rivero or Paulo Díaz, Marcos Acuña; Castaño or Quintero, Enzo Pérez, Giuliano Galoppo; Maximiliano Salas, Fernández or Colidio and Sebastián Driussi.
River He arrives at the meeting as a pointer of his area, with 12 units, just one above Vélez and San Lorenzo, his immediate persecutors. In addition, it remains in classification positions to the next Copa Libertadores by annual table, which reinforces the importance of adding three at home.
