River Plate vs Club Guarani Match Preview
Guarani's victory 2-0 in Paraguay surprised everyone, as the Uruguayans Millonarios were expected to have more to say on their debut match for the South American cup. Jonathan Fabbro is looking forward to this visit to Montevideo, as this young Argentinean is the main engine of Guarani's creative machine. He scored the opening goal back home and will have a tough personal mark to deal with as River defenders have already seen him in action. Scoring a single goal will give Guarani a big advantage, as the Uruguayans would need at least four goals to secure their passage to the second phase. The Aurinegros are likely to adopt an offensive formation to have River between a rock and a hard place, the most vulnerable role to assume.Eduardo del Capellan field of view should be rather narrow these last few days, as River's situation could hardly be more compromised. Defensor Sporting and Peñarol -the other two Uruguayan teams in the competition- are much more likely to lead Celeste's flag to the latter stages of the competition, but the Millonarios maintain the confidence, as they believe Montevideo could be a deadly trap for the Aurinegros. Federico Puppo, who scored on this week's match against Rampla Juniors, might have a shot within team's starting eleven, as River needs every possible point of attack sharpened to revert this adverse present situation. Standing at the fifth position in the Uruguayan league, a defeat would be a huge blow for the Darsena, whose performance in last year's Primera Division was far from satisfying.
