River Plate will aim to reclaim their place at the top of the Argentine Primera Division Group A table when they play host to Gimnasia de La Plata at Estadio Mas Monumental on Sunday.
The reigning champions have made a strong start to this phase of the season, having yet to taste the first defeat of their 10 Argentine Primera fixtures. However, a run of four draws from the last five games means Velez Sarsfield have leapfrogged them to occupy the top spot in Group A for the time being.
Gimnasia finished a disappointing 11th place last season, and a similarly underwhelming campaign looks to be in store for the visitors, who have lost three of their past four games (D1).
