River Plate vs Huracán Match Preview
Last week's defeat against Independiente made all Millo effort during this first half of the tournament useless. As Team's goalkeeper Daniel Vega declared after such a loss "I left the field asking God when will this all be over" Impotence will be the word that best suits to describe River's situation, as the 16th position is an unnatural standing for one of Argentina's major football teams. Marcelo Gallardo will probably play for the 90 minutes to recover his best level ready for the derby against Boca Juniors next week. Gustavo Cabral and Mauro Rosales have recovered from their injuries, so Leo Astrada's midfield will be as strong as ever for this Sunday match.
Huracan's midfielder Andrés Franzoia explained perfectly their situation regarding this Sunday's match. "They're a rival to be taken seriously, to be respected. we've taken a step backwards against Tigre, but we must remain confident on our playing" The Globo have always been a pain for the major teams as their triumph against Velez clearly showed, but this time will be different, as River is a direct rival on the way to the top, and both teams might as well be facing each other in next year's relegation fight, as long as their performances don't recover their former level.
