From the Estadio Monumental, the team led by Marcelo Gallardo will aim to display their dominance in front of their home crowd, while Javier Aguirre will strive to maintain Mexico’s strong international performance and solid form. Learn how both teams are performing, their recent results, and what’s at stake in this intriguing clash.

How Is River Plate Performing?

River Plate has delivered standout performances in recent games, though they’ve also encountered setbacks highlighting areas for improvement. In their most recent friendly, they secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Universidad de Chile, demonstrating offensive capabilities but exposing defensive vulnerabilities. In the Argentine Primera Division, they suffered a 1-0 loss to Racing Club, struggling to create opportunities and lacking sharpness in attack.

Earlier, River showcased their best form with a dominant 4-0 win against Rosario Central, asserting control over the game and seizing key moments. Against San Lorenzo, they played to a 1-1 draw in a tightly contested match with clear opportunities for both sides. Despite inconsistencies, Marcelo Gallardo’s squad continues to show they have the resources to compete against high-level opponents.
