River Plate vs Boca Juniors - Team news

River Plate get to this game with a record that shows eleven wins and only two losses, but their domestic performance is not as relevant this week following their 5-1 loss to Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores, where they have lost two out of three matches. River's last game in the domestic tournament ended in a draw against Atlético Tucumán.

Los Xeneizes will get to this clash on a four-game run without a loss across all competitions. The team led by Jorge Almirón had a rough start of the season, but performances such as their recent Copa Libertadores win against Colo-Colo on Thursday cement their fans' hopes for better days. The team's last Primera División match ended in a 3-1 win against Racing, a match where both teams were down to ten men due to red cards.

Here is the list of absences for both sides ahead of this game.

River Plate: Paulo Díaz, Matías Kranevitter, David Martínez, Bruno Zuculini (injured). José Paradela (suspended).

Boca Juniors: Juan Ramírez, Exequiel Zeballos, Bruno Valdéz, Frank Fabra, Darío Benedetto, Luca Langoni, Marcos Rojo. Martín Payero (Suspended).

River Plate vs Boca Juniors - Standings prior to this match

River Plate have been the best team in the Argentine top-flight after fourteen weeks, with eleven wins, one draw, and two losses to support that fact. In short, Los Millonarios would keep that spot in the event of a loss or a draw here. On the other hand, Boca are thirteenth following their poor start of the season, but a win here would lift them to the top ten of the competition in search for a better finish and to keep their hopes for a spot in next year's Libertadores alive.
